S-plus doesn't operate

[rokgpsman]

Below is your photo of your mpu board. I've made some notes on it in case it is helpful. Your mpu board has a dipswitch with 8 mini-switches. With SP810 these dipswitches control certain settings for your machine. Take a look at the dipswitch, see which positions are set ON and OFF. Then look at the document for SP810 and see what the dipswitch is set to for the various things it controls.

IGT made two styles of mpu boards for the S+. Yours is called the "10mhz" mpu, it is easily identified by the round blue sound volume control along the top edge. You can use it to adjust sound level.

The other style of mpu board is called the "16mhz" board, it does not have this round blue volume knob. Either board will work in an S+ machine.

I've been holding the reset  button for over 10 seconds and I get no response on the front.  When I hit the reset and the pull handle unlocks, the "coins played" flashes 0 then 1. Each time I pull the handle, it progresses
0 then 1, 0 then 2, 0 then 3, up to 9. If I randomly push buttons, a few other things light up, but it reverts back to 61

The sign reads: wear bells and carry bear spray.


The second sign illustrates the difference beteeen Black bear feces and grisly feces.
The grisley feces smells of bear spray and has bells in it.

You may want to meter your white TEST button switch and make sure it is ok. If it has 2 wires attached you can follow them back to make sure they haven't been disconnected or cut somewhere.

When you say "hit the reset" do you mean turning the reset keyswitch with the key, located on the side of the machine? Or are you talking about something else?

We aren't there to see what you are doing, so important to use the correct terminology. The white TEST button is not a "reset" button.

Also, are your door optics working ok, does the machine display the door open display with the door open, and when you close the door do the reels spin and the machine goes into "ready to play" mode? Don't want any error codes on the front.

Turning the reset key will put you into statistics mode.

[CabinetDan]

The reset I'm talking about would be the key. I don't have a key yet, so I pulled the switch so I could jumper the wires together to reset

When you said you were holding the "reset button" for over 10 seconds I thought you might mean the white TEST button. There isn't a reset button on an S+.

Are you doing the reset (jackpot reset on side of machine) with the door closed? If so that just puts you in stat/bookkeeping mode. You will need to step thru all those screens to exit. Might be able to exit by opening and closing the door. Read back thru the last several posts, some have been edited, need to answer some questions that were asked.

Does your game have its reset self-test button by the on / off switch or back behind the bill acceptor? These do go bad so you might want to check yours with a meter

His is by the power switch, see photo in reply #26 earlier.

Agree, it might be bad or disconnected.

[CabinetDan]

I apologize for miss speaking.  It was the test button that I was holding down for more than 10 seconds.  The reset on side is what I tripped to get the pull handle to unlock.  I pulled and tested the test button.  It's good, and neither wire is cut.  I see it going into a plug above the MPU. 
Not sure what I did, but at one point I pulled the lever and the wheels spun and then stopped.  #3, them #2, then #1.  but only one time.  then back to 61.  I measured out the optics, and they should match up.  Just wondering if they aren't making contact.  But I'm assuming that would have nothing to do with the test button.

[CabinetDan]

YES!!!
OK, I pulled the plug that has the wire from the test button and sprayed it with contact cleaner. Plugged it back in and SHAZAM!!  got a ding and the 61 1.  But, if I turn it off and back on again it goes back to the 61.  But then pushing the test button still brngs it back to 61 1.  Baby steps

[rokgpsman]

That's progress!  The connection to the white TEST button switch was probably flaky.

Follow the normal suggestions to clear the 61 or 61-1 error. Be sure to follow the resolution steps exactly.

If the machine is stuck in a loop and never exits the error 61 after trying the recommended steps then it's time to do the CLEAR ram process. Here is a How-To about doing a Clear:

When you pulled the handle and the reels spun you may have been in one of the test steps or stat steps that displays the last few spins the machine had, for audit purposes. This is for settling disputes sometimes in the casino.

[Amechanic]

This list will help you with the codes. 61-1 it says to open and closed the door, then to turn the reset key on the side.

[CabinetDan]

Of course it's not going to be simple.
Got the ding and 61-1. close the door, drop the latch to align the optics, hit the reset, and nothing.  I get nothing from the reset.  I turned it off and on to go back to where I was with the 61, and the reset unlocking the pull lever, and the reset does nothing.  There are a little over 9V between the wires, so I'm assuming that I haven't broken a wire anywhere.  I looked and checked all of the plugs again.  still nothing.

And the light on top flashes the whole time

[rokgpsman]

The light on top ("candle") actually has at least 2 lights inside it (sometimes more). So it has a bottom light and an upper light. I think it is normal for it to flash after the door has been opened and closed, until the first play is made. I wouldn't worry too much about it. But sometimes the machine can use the candle as another way to indicate an error. So let us know which part of the candle is flashing.

Also, when you do the reset that is a momentary thing, not meant for the reset wires to stay connected for very long. When you get your new reset keyswitch you'll see that it is spring-loaded, your turn it to the reset position, then release and it returns to normal position. The reset wires are normally not connected to each other, only momentarily when you turn the reset key. Don't leave the wires connected to each other while you do other stuff.

try shorting the reset sw with a screwdriver or jumper , may be bad

[CabinetDan]

Yes, I do know that the reset is a momentary thing, so just touching the wires together for a secnd.
The candle had 2 bulbs.  they both flash.  The bottom one flashes faster.

.....Yes, I do know that the reset is a momentary thing, so just touching the wires together for a secnd......

ok, just wanted to make sure.
