Title: Bally bonus frenzy bill acceptor problem
Post by: BR549 Auto Sales on July 29, 2011, 01:57:33 AM
I just did a complete clear on a bonus frenzy machine that I just got in. When I power it up, it goes through the reel calibration, bill acceptor cycles and game goes to ready to play mode. The bill chute is lit green for @5-10 seconds, then it goes to the red O light with a line through it. This game does not have a coin comparitor, but it does have a ticket printer. Any ideas as to why the bill acceptor goes from green to red and won't allow any bills?

Thanks,

David

David,

Make sure the Coin Mech switch on the front of the MPU is in the up position.

I think it is the same problem with my S2000 machines, the bv is a Canadian model.

I put a known working USA bill acceptor in the machine and it is still doing the same thing, lights up green then goes to red and won't accept bills

Any ideas on this?

Thanks,

David

Does it accept coins?  If you checked the switch that Tim said, then you may want to check the dip switches to be sure it is set for WBA(must be a WBA).  Your known working one was from a Bally?  I have seen this issue be related to a bad board.

Thanks,
Wayne

in addition to above, try swapping the cash box...
