Installed a reel eprom and can't get the machine to boot up.  I have pressed the test button, restarted the machine and also used the reset key with no luck...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

How about posting the numbers on your SS and SP chips ??

SS4413 and SP1160 Type 0/1/4/5 L00-0298

I thought you were changing to a different SS chip number, my bad.

Open the door and hold the test button for a couple of seconds, close the door and see what you get. I attached a chart that might help you. Click on to enlarge

The #3 reel tilt your getting, make sure nothing is rubbing the reel when the door is closed. If that doesn't work, try spraying the plug with contact cleaner. ( can't hurt )

I held the teest button for several seconds and still getting the same code...65-3.

As for the #3 reel on another machine, use electric motor contact cleaner...correct or do they make one for electronics?

Power up the machine. (with the door open)
To clear a [65-3] error code, turn the reset key once. (also with the door open)
The numbers should now display [65-2] or [65-1].
Now, hold the little white Test button for a few seconds. (with the door still open !)

Now...wait a few seconds for the reels to do it's "maiden spins", now...close the door,  :hide2-
the reels may spin again after a few seconds and you ought to be good to go!

As a reminder, all of the common IGT S+ error codes and steps to resolve the error can be found at:

thanks, I will print it off.

You fixed it stayouttadabunker, thanksyou very much!

I'm glad you got your machine going!  :136-
In the future, if you have another question at all - don't hesitate to post it up
and I'm sure you'll get a flurry of suggestions!  :89-

And don't forget, it's a BITCH to get to the "little white test button" with the door closed

:72-  I've actually done it to see what would happen...  :79-
There was no error codes or anything so it doesn't do anything with the door optics closed.
I cheated though...I used a cherry switch in place of the door optics.

Thinking about it, if I were to try to get to the Test button with the door closed and reaching in through the belly door -
I would have made a contortionist instructor proud... :97-

Just take the reek glass out and when the door is closed, you can access the test button

Why would you want to ????????????????????//

I, myself, would nottttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

haha! It doesn't do anything anyways...
That's what I'm here for...to try and screw up machines so I can fix 'em!   :208-
