Got my IGT clear chips but instructions call for jumpers that my board dont have ? Got of ebay and seller says I have jumpers,good luck ?- I have a double diamond 97 model i believe, game chip says s plus ,,,I have the dreaded 61 code I cant shake, this is my home slot-just tryin to get runnin,,,I have enclosed a pic of my board

      Any help would be much thanks,,,PS   went through the standard clear proccess.....................Ronnie

Interesting that your board does not have jumpers. But did the clear chip actually work? Your board may not need the jumpers. And are you properly trying to clear the 61? With the 61, open the door, and hold the self test in until the the display changes to 61_1 (and it should ding). Close the door all of the way including the latch and turn the reset key. That should clear it. If it does not, tell us exactly what is happening with the 61.

See E12, E13, and E14?  That's where the jumpers would be -- it looks like your revision of the 10mhz board doesn't have them, and the eBay seller you bought them from is selling chips that are burned on the wrong size EPROM.  You're the second person recently who reported buying a clear chip off of eBay that had instructions to move the jumpers, something normally not needed.  Would you mind posting the name of the eBay seller you got the chip from so that others will know to avoid that seller?

For kicks, did you try using the clear chip anyway?  If not, go ahead and try it -- there's nothing to lose, and it can't cause any damage (just be sure to put the chip in the correct direction, noting where the notch in the chip is and the notch in the socket).

Worst case, try buying another clear chip from a reputable vendor (like any of the folks who have a sponsor ad at the top of this page) and you should be good to go.  Let us know, though, about what's happening when you try to clear the 61 error, as poppo just posted.

Well, that really depends on what size chips you 'normally' use.  :96-

<edit> Never mind. I was thinking of the reel chip.

Actually I just looked at a 10Mhz and 16Mhz board and this seems to be some sort of 'hybrid' of the two. The 10Mhz jumpers are E15, E16, E17 & E18 and this one doesn't have them. This board is laid out like a 16Mhz board, but has a volume pot and dip switches.   :103-

Clear chip should be burned to a 27c512 chip.  No moving of jumpers needed.

PS. I am not the seller  :30-

Txrebel10...send me a private message or e-mail with your address and I will send you a  clear chip that will work. FREE!!

Seller was Dino69 with ebay,sad he wouldnt try to resolve-12.00   oh well,I have a 28 pin i believe-thought it might be a 2000 but they have to many pins,,Ive seen many of these on the boards[here] and if I can find resolve I will surely post for the others,I ve seen short the battery-and scrape the chip on metal,,,I dont believe these are the ways to resolve any problems and wont go that route,,,,would like to buy the CORRECT chip from our sponsers  ??,,,,PS  tryed anyway but nothing !!!There are no E's on my board

You really should not need a clear chip 99% of the time. You need to tell us step by step what is happening (what is displayed etc) as you try to clear the 61. There are multiple things that can cause the problem (like door optic, reset switch, etc.). Without knowing what is happening at each step, we can't help.

Can get to the 61-1,,close door-do reset and then just 61 comes up,,,this all started with dead batt

Replaced bat-got #12-reset-got 61-reset-got 61-1-closed door-key one time-then go's to 61,,,cant shake it guys

You have the dreaded [61-1] to [61] runaround.  :8-
The only way to get rid of it is to put a different SP chip in or use a Clear chip.  :89-

Brother thats what Iam shootin fur !!!,,,,seen alot of peeps on the board with this prob,,,if I can get solve I will surely post to help all others---If I dont go bald from pullin my hair out first   lol

It's kind of a moot point, though.

I have bought a number of items from Jim at Blue Ridge Slots.  His profile with his contact info can be found by clicking here (http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?action=profile;u=76).  He'll be able to get you the correct clear chip.  txrebel, you are stuck in a 61 loop and will need the clear chip, so you're on the right track -- keep your hair in for now!  :)

10-4 bud,,,,,,thanks fur the lead !!!!!

The odd thing is those are jumpers you find on a 16Mhz board, and his has the volume pot and dip switches which would normally indicate a 10Mhz board.

Would a SET chip get it out of the loop since it also will generate a 61? Maybe temporarily changing the BV status or something?

That seller is selling reset chips thst are burned 27c256 chips that require you to move the jumpers,What you need are reset chips that are burned on to 27c512 you dont need to move any jumpers and yes there are igt boards out there that dont have jumpers because I have both kinds of igt boards 10mhz one with jumpers and without jumpers but ether way you need reset chips that are burned on 27c512 chips there are 2 sellers that I know of that sell the one's you can use selling on ebay manuals-r-us-2008 and slots-az cheap. :30-

Nice, buy off eBay cheap, then come here and ask for help, no wonder why guys with answer to problems don't post the fix, but people who contribute to this site and buy from supporting companies above usually have their games going right away, to the original poster with the 61-1 problem, if you would like the correct items to repair your game along with detailed instructions including what to do with other codes that may come up when doing this fix contact us, we have you covered

K+ to you, Jim, for your awesome products and service.  There's a reason why I recommended you in my previous post (reply #12).  :89-

You would think that seller which will go unnamed but not hard to figure out
would at least contribute to the site since he is a member here and seems to have made a good buck off all the ones he has sold.

Interesting because I have never personally seen a 10Mhz board without the normal jumpers. I wonder just how common they are.

When I questioned the 16Mhz boards not having the jumpers, I was told that the board would 'auto detect' the size of the chip. So I wonder if it really makes a difference on this board especially since the original poster said:

"PS   went through the standard clear proccess....................."

Which makes it sound like the clear chip actually ran through the process and there may be something else wrong.

Not hard at all -- it was said right here in this thread:






I read that as, "I went through the process of pressing and holding the test button, got a 61-1, closed the door, turned the key, and it reverted back to 61," especially in light of some later comments.  :71-

Yeah, I guess that may be what he meant. He needs to tell us what the clear chip actually did, if anything, so we are not going down the wrong path.

Jim,
I bought from you ??  I bought off ebay about the same time I found the forum-so I get trashed from a ebay item and then get trashed from buying from the forum ??   Iam lost-and you where reffered to me by a member,,,Thats why I bought my chips from you

The chip did nothig when installed and tryed to run

He's a member here?

txrebel10: I can't speak for Jim since I'm not him, but in the quote that you posted from him, he was talking to the user by the name "James" who had recommended a few eBay sellers, and Jim's words were not directed at you, except for the part where he said:

"to the original poster with the 61-1 problem, if you would like the correct items to repair your game along with detailed instructions including what to do with other codes that may come up when doing this fix contact us, we have you covered"

It sounds like you've done that, so you should be on your way to getting your machine up and running.




You're talking about the one you bought on eBay from Dino69, right?  Have you gotten the replacement chip from Jim at Blueridge yet?




No, Dino69 is not a member here (to the best of my knowledge).  I think that stormrider thought someone else had sold you the chip on eBay.

Knagl,
I wanted to help with an answer but I had no idea who was talking to who in this thread.     :103-




txrebel10,
If you make 3 posts in a row, you need to be more specific please.
"You" and "Him" , and "He's" is who?    :5- :72- :97-
Who are you're talking to? James, Blueridge,Poppo, Stormrider or Knagl?  :279-


Nevermind,...I give up....lol

The ebay seller was mr.dinoman not Dino69 that's his email addy
whatever the case we all know(well the smart ones) selling that burned stuff on ebay is a no no.


Tim

Thanks Tim,,,,,

I just want to comment that I purchased clear chips from Mr Dinoman this week. instructions on site say "NO NEED TO CHANGE JUMPERS" The clear ram went smoothly. I did email him after I read all these posts. He replied within half hour.. He assured me no jumpers had to be touched'
