S plus wild cherry error RL EPRM 54

Any hints on how to clear “RL EPRM 54”

[Blainedett2000]

I changed out one of the reel chips on my IGT slot machine to get a different payout percentage. I took the original chip out and replaced it and got a “RL EPRM 54” message on the screen. I couldn’t get it to clear so I replaced the chip back to the original and I’m still getting the same message. Any ideas on what I can do to fix it are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Physically closing the door should clear the errors and put you back into game mode.
If not, pull out that SS reel chip again and make sure none of the chip legs are folded underneath the chip body.

[Blainedett2000]

I have checked the ss reel chip and everything is straight. The same error shows regardless if the door is open or closed.

[Blainedett2000]

I have a couple different ss reel chips. When I put them in nothing happens. I don’t get the “open door sound” and the screen stays blank. The only time I get anything out of the machine is when the original ss chip is in.

With the original ss chip in I get the RL EPRM 54 message on the screen and the “open door chime” stays on regardless if it’s open or not. The reset sequence for these s plus machines has no effect.

I’m wishing I would have just left the chips alone. Everything was working great until I decided to mess with the ss reel chip.

Are you sure your machine is a s plus?  I have NEVER SEEN a code like that in a s plus.

If a s-2000, maybe you didn’t put the chip in properly, it goes toward the back , the front couple pins are empty???

Hope this helps

I have never heard an open door chime/sound on any slot machine.  Don't think it's an S+ or S2000.  Post pics or links to pics of machine.

An S+ also doesn't really have any "screen"either.
Does your machine have an LCD screen? 

[Blainedett2000]

I had an issue when I first bought the machine and we were able to get it fixed. I believe we came to the conclusion that it might be an Army s+.

[Stayouttadabunker]

That's NOT an IGT S+ slot...you have the older version...might be the "M" or straight "S" model.
If there's connectors going directly to the MPU circuit board, it's not an S+.
An S+ has a floor-mounted motherboard that the MPU sits on top of and plugs into.

Can you show us a photo of the MPU area and where's it sits in the machine?
Or....pull it out and snap a picture of it.
Turn OFF the power switch before removing or installing anything.

[Blainedett2000]

Okay

[Blainedett2000]

This is the error I’m getting with a constant ding/chime sound

[lookes]

I'm seeing a standard 10MHz S+ board here. Must be a special SP chip to be displaying errors like this. ?

[Stayouttadabunker]

yeah...it has an SP629 Army chip in it.
These were probably never in a public casino.

[Blainedett2000]

I have tried 3760 ss and 731 sp chips and they did absolutely nothing. The only thing that powered back up was the lights for the display. I’m back to the original chips and the same error on the screen.

[Stayouttadabunker]

No matter what...the error appears to be an indication of something amiss with the SS Reel Prom.
What "54" means as in an error code, we don't know.
My guess is that the SS3701 chip somehow got corrupted, or just got old?
Leave the SP629 in the socket but try changing ONLY the SS Reel chip with that SS3760 chip you have.
See if the SP629 interacts with it or not.
Worst case scenario is a different error code pops up.

It's too bad you don't have an S+ cabinet - to see if the problem lays with the MPU.
I mean, you have somewhat of an S+ guts but yours has a very different, older LED screen.
I think that the programming in the SP629 chip is what makes the that particular display work.
SP731 used other displays....you'll see this type of information in PSR sheets.

In the earlier pic, where it says low battery that is not the standard low battery error either.

[Blainedett2000]

I installed only the ss 3760 and got a blank screen. I’m going to order a new ss3701 if I can find one.

The battery error in one of the pictures is an old photo I have of the machine. That problem has been resolved.

[jay]

My point is that a low battery is error 12 on a S+ and It is normally displayed in the Coins Played Window.
The error that you had is neither a 12 nor in the standard display.
S+'s don't typically have that window that spells out the error message.

The location of your coins in/played window is reminiscent of an older S (non S+) machine or a very early S+ without a bill validator.

Undeniably the board you showed us is an S+ style board.

My suspicion is that your error codes might show up in the standard places if you were using a 731 or 1271 game chip.
Typically it would be the game chip that would drive that other display.

If you were to put your 731 back in do you get a 61 or 61-1 in the coins played window.
Does it change then if you hold in the white test button for 3 seconds ?

[Blainedett2000]

With the 731 chip in the screens stay blank. The reels are also not getting power.

I have looked for a new ss 3701 chip to try but I’m not able to find one on the internet.
