Just started new project on this slot.   When I power it up BV cycles then I get the error 15 0 on the inside door says main ram error.   I'm a newbe so thanks for the help in advance.

did you do a ram clear on power up?

ok did the ram clear and got the following message 19  1   then 11   1  then  31   1.   Shut system off then just power back on and now I get 31  1 then 13  1  then 11  1.

13  says power up
31  is an overpay
11  is low voltage

I tried to press the reset switch with no change in the display

13 will go away on first play so don't worry about it.  If you leave the machine on11 may go away.  31 reseat the hopper and if that does not work get some contact cleaner and clean the  hopper connection.  If that does not work uniman has a code 31 trick

http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=1058.msg76888#msg76888 (http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=1058.msg76888#msg76888)  here is the uniman's 31 thread.  Tooth picks would be last resort. 

tried removing and installing the hopper same message.  have to run and get contact cleaner, will try later hope it fixes it

make sure you get contact cleaner that is safe for delicate electronics and plastic.

will do.  looked at the toothpick fix and someone has already put them in. 

did you check to see if the sensor lit up?  Also did your 11 go away?

ok stupid question where is the sensor.   11 still on.

did you see in this post http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=1058.msg76888#msg76888  where he shows you the sensor in the hopper output. I am curious if you have a bad power supply with the 11 sticking around.  Jim will probably have some thoughts.

what game is the machine?
  Since the tooth picks have been done I am wondering if uniman has helped the previous wonder.  Is it up right or slant top?

:97- :97- :97-
That's too funny. I thought I was only desperate enough to use toothpicks.

The error 11 is serious though. And your reporting a 11 1 and a 31 1, etc. Sounds like bad board connection to me. Clean the mpu board pins and spray the backplane. With power off, of course. With the mpu pins wet with contact cleaner insert it in and out of the backplane a couple of times. Let dry and then power up with a ram clear. Make sure to put your thumb just under the board when performing the ram clear so you don't flex the board.
If the error 11 persists you have a power supply problem.

Jim

thanks again.  That will be tomorrows trials.    One other thing I figured out how to get the head off the bv but do I need the key to remove the transport from the housing?  Hope not, did not get one with the machine.

The keys for the bv transport were unique to the casino. No keys available that I know of. You have to drill it out or pry the top panel above the lock and remove the nut holding the latch. Or, just leave it.

contact cleaner worked and now when i power up i only get 13  0    and    11   0.    Also I want to start cleaning the dbv.   How do you get the transport out.  Is there latch like my wba11.  if so I can not find it.

The 13 is ok, normal. And a 19 after a ram clear is ok too. But the 11 is not. If seen for about three seconds and then goes away, ok. But if it persists it is an indication of a voltage problem.
I've never cleaned the transport.
To get it out you have to disable that lock. To do so you need to remove the entire bv case from the machine.
I happen to have a transport locked in the case on my garage shelf. So here is a demonstation on how to remove the lock.
Pry open the plate pictured below with a screwdriver.
Use needlenose to loosen the small nut. It won't come off, no room yet.
Then use the needlenose to loosen the large lock retaining ring.
Pull lock forward and finish removing the small nut, locking latch and pull the lock out the front.
Push the metal plate down and your done. Transport can now be pulled out.

And here is the end result.

Thanks for the photos.  The 11 will not go away so I assume the power supply is bad or can it be something else. Someone said jim might have one.   Not sure who jim is.

Power supply would be most probable. But there is a lot of things that could cause this problem. Check the power cord for rips or crushed areas. I've had seen a lot of that. It could be a wiring issue or it could be an issue with the mpu.
What are the four led's on the front of the board doing? Do they flash at the same time or do they go left to right then right to left?


Almost forgot, I'm Jim

I will check when I get home. 

When I got home today I had to clear system again to get it to start.  The LED go from right to left then back left to right. 

I can now get to the test menu.  I see how to cycle thru the test but not sure on how to run them.  You have a doc or link for running tests

did you rid of 11 and 31?

Yes they are gone.  I found your article on the small blocks of wood to hold in the mpu.  I have to make them yet, but that is the issue.  I now close the door get the 13 and 51, but if you drop a quarter in nothing happens just drops thru.

Have you checked your gmail since Friday night? You should find a guide to the test menu there.  :89-

For the coins falling through. Do you have a sample coin in the comparitor and have you tried turning down the sensitivity?

If yes to the above then I'm afraid it's that board connection again!  :37-
Coins falling thru often happen with poor connection.
Hate to sound like a broken record but this is the weakest link on this machine.

Jim

I just checked email again and I have nothing. 

you have another post that talks about led.  does this compare have them.  I don't see any lights on it

My bad, sent to wrong address, check now.

No lights. There should be a coin in it, same as what you drop in. The sensitivity dail is on the upper right of the black box. Turn it with a small screwdriver counterclockwise, opposite direction of the arrow you see.
But I'm betting it is the mpu board. With machine off press the right side of the board in and then power up. The coin-in pulse goes to the right side of the board.

For testing purposes;
With the machine on and the door open you can press the red button (service sw) next to reel #1 and this will simulate a coin-in and you can then press the spin button and watch a test spin. Let's hope the reels have no errors!

Reels worked fine

 :244- :244- :244-

I've had stubburn boards that would give me hopper errors (31), then comparitor not taking coins, then reel errors!!
Was expecting the worse.

As long as the error 50 changes to 51 when you close and lock the door, the machine should be ready to take coins.
The comparitor plugs into the "shadow box" and the big grey ribbon cable goes to the backplane. Make sure those three connections are buttoned down tight. I've seen the ribbon cable not snapped in before and this causes problems.
The Ultra comparitor is a CC-64D. This unit verifies the coin in is proper and sends a pulse to mpu to count the coin.

It has a cc-62-d.   Yes door code goes from 50 to 51

the coin compare takes the quarter drops it in the hopper but does not give me a credit.  When I run test 3 the coin in test I get a value of 18.  the bv is now working. only issue is I have to duck tape the box so it does not pop out and give me a 97 error.  Need many light bulbs for the system any idea where I can get them?

I don't see an 18 in the values for test 3, but there is a 180. Mine are all at 500.
Run test 3 and press max bet button until you get to 500.

Found big problem tonight.   Looks like a mouse made home in the coin tracking box. Wires all chewed.  Notsure how it was working

got the system up and running.  only thing not working was the arm.  no big deal.  was playing the game and decided to cash out to see how well the hopper worked.  i got a 31 error, over pay, then the dreaded 11 again.  ram clear got rid of the 31 now I am stuck with 13 and 11.   

Hi everyone, Here is manuals I have for the Universal Sunrise Machines I hope this would help someone.
I Have alot more, but they are on CD and I would Have to email them so if you need any, just email me.

Here are more including the EMax

Gotta love file sharing.....link to download the manuals.......https://rapidshare.com/files/13575337/Sunrise_Series_Manuals.rar

I just had to do this and it worked well.  One tip I have is that I was unable to turn the nut with the needle nose so I used a screw driver and hammer and struck the large nut in the loosening direction.
