Title: Couldn't get past 61 Post by: cp on January 09, 2009, 11:58:33 PM After clearing RAM, S+, put in the SP and the standard 61 came up...press the whte test button... no ding...no 61-1. Yes. cash can door wires tied together... traced all wires...re-checked mother board plug ins.... no bent pins.... checked game board, no bent pins... took a known working board and still couldn't get past the 61...and then, for no reason at all, I uplugged the white/red door optic...and machine will now do its thing... 61-1 / Ding. re-connect door optic. close door. turn JP key/reset. Game came up. reset all the parameters. put in BV/denom chip. Had to unplug door optic to get to the 61-1. reconnect door optic. and machine is now good to go.
...Just to satisfy my curiosity, I changed out door optics and tried the RAM Clr procedure again...but it still wouldn't get past 61 unless I unplugged door optic. I just thought that was an odd one of a kind problem...until....the 3rd machine down the bench... I ran into the same scenario...and had to uplug door optic etc..etc...etc... Has anyone come across this ? I can't recall running into this problem... after working on 100+ S+ machines. :103- what am I missing ?

However that's hard to do with 2-pin molexes when one side is pointed! I had this problem a while back....fooled around with door optics forever....clearing rams and everything. On one of the times I got to the code 61, pressed the test switch , closed the door and voila! IT CLEARED! Still ,to this day, I don't know why.......lol Title: Re: Couldn't get past 61 Post by: cp on January 10, 2009, 12:10:03 AM don't think so.. white/red wire optic on cabinet. black/red optic on door.
Title: Re: Couldn't get past 61 Post by: Jim on January 10, 2009, 01:38:51 AM have had many odd situtations with this ckt. two options in the door that could affect this ckt. 1- a switch mounted on the belly door.(upper lefthand cornor, as u look at the machine ) 2-a jumper plug in the harness near the point where the wire bundle goes into the cabinet. Other than that its a straight shot from the door open emtiter to pins19 -20 j203 to p203 19-20 to j3 pins 5-6------6 being gnd 5being door open led. J3 is on the mother board.
you can use input test 13 to see if the door optics work. jim |
