If your machine has backlit reels and a sound simm installed the buzz could be pretty bad with a 502. Both those seem to intensify it to me. The 502 is cheaper for a reason. That being said I have one 502 that sounds great!

I had this same exact problem today it drove me nuts. The cause of the problem was a bad version chip.

I wanted to take a minute to say a big thank you to all who tried to help me solve my problem. It seems that my board was truly bad. I have another board coming but as of yet haven't gotten it. I will post as soon as I get it installed and hopefully will be back up and running. Thanks to all.

Good luck with it. Once you get it up and running check out the Bettor Slots TITO module for ticket play. You can network your machines and also add credits and change the text on the ticket vouchers. I had mine on wifi. There is an app for your phone.

Well, I have an update......I installed my new 504 mpu and got my machine back up and running. It works just like it used to. BUT, I still have a problem with bill validator. It will not accept any bills. It will take them in but sends them right back out again. I never had any problems with that part before all this fiasco started. Any ideas what to do next? If I recall, there used to be a yellow light in it but that doesn't work either. I can't remember if it ever did but it might be nice for it to light up. Once again, thanks to all who helped me through this mess. Cudos to NewLifeGames.com.

Press white button and go to #4 I/O then go to 4.3 auto configure netplex devices and see if it says bill acceptor installed.

If the bills are being taken then rejected it means you either need to calibrate the validator, or you are going over the credit limit. Check the bill credit limit in the machine settings. Try using a dollar bill see if the machine takes it.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. If it is stalled though, how do I "unstall" it?

I tried it with a new style ten, a new style five and a regular one. Same thing on all of them. It pulls them in then spits them back out. Maybe my money tastes bad. LOL.

As suggested go into config 4.3 and make sure it is enabled on the netplex network. It is acting like it is disabled. Does it take coins OK?

I did as you suggested, I got a message that the bv was stalled. I took it out and messed with the little wheels. I put it back in and got a message that said "bv cam failure". I took it out again and turned the little wheels. I put it back in and closed the door. It went through the reset process and I tried a one dollar bill. I took it. I tried a second bill and it came back out. It seems to like every other bill. I think it got dirty or oxidized from sitting so long. Is there a way to clean it?

sixcardmark · « **Reply #91 on:** April 29, 2020, 07:36:55 PM »

Yes, some you can open the head and clean the sensors with warm water on a Q-tip. Do NOT use alcohol. Which bv do you have?

Jim · « **Reply #92 on:** April 30, 2020, 08:35:01 AM »

there are 8 switches on the right side of the WBA , all should be in the up position, to test the unit, pull out the cash can, put switches 1-2-3 and 8 down, put in the machine, apply power, reach in and push switch 8 up, unit should cycle briefly, now you can insert a bill into the unit, normally it should pull it into the unit and run it through and deposit it where the cash can would have been. you can use this method to determine what software you have in the unit by the type bills it will accept.

if it doesn't do this then you either have a bad head or a bad transport unit.

restore all switches to the up position.

I have tested WBA transports available if you need one. ID024, version 3.8 for IGT, will take all the latest money.

I tried as you suggested but nothing happens. It doesn't work as you said and it will not do anything with the cash box out. and I had to return everything back to normal to get it to recycle. It will not accept a bill at this point but I'll keep on trying. Another question, how can I turn off that God-awful sound that it makes when there are no credits and inactivity.

Are you talking about the "Attract Mode" of the machine?
If so, go into the set-up and look for that option and disable it.

Thanks, I wasn't sure what it was called. Attract mode? Thanks, I found it and turned the volume down to 0. There is no off/on. Some of the menu options are curious to me. I don't know what they do. Is there a document available that has all the menu options/selections and explanations of each? I'd sure love to get one.

Thanks for the input. I'm 77 years old so excuse me if I try to take the shortest route to my problem. I did do some reading on that place but being the novice that I am, a lot of it is total gibberish to me. But the good news is that since this whole thing started, I have learned a lot but I know that I have only scratched the surface. I really do appreciate all the help I have received here. I got my machine working and it's almost back to the way it used to be. I am now in the process of trying to get the BV back to working correctly and I have been reading on that subject too. I will say that I got so carried away with all of my new knowledge that I totally forgot to go back to that topic. I will now do that.
