Title: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 14, 2012, 06:13:46 PM Hello, I am a bit of a novice here so I am just going to spout out as much info as I can in hope something might help someone help me.
Ballys S5500 Stars and Bars 1992-1993 w/bill collector Have ProSlot Opperators manual for FO-5020 Rev B The machine did work fine for about 8 years. It is in very good condition. We are not selling it or making any money off of it, its just for private use. Error: O-6 appears in Win Paid LCD Panel Under Credit LCD Panel is shows four dots "...." Service lights arent on Lights on machine all work Hopper Works When powered on the reels do now move and I immediately get the error above If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. I have been all over the internet and made phone calls but cant find an help or a solution. Sincerely, Jason Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: Mr. Dinoman on January 14, 2012, 07:24:59 PM can you post some photo's of the display window showing the error code? :211-
Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 15, 2012, 10:38:52 AM Sure, here you go. Thanks for your reply
Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: Mr. Dinoman on January 15, 2012, 02:21:53 PM I admit I have not seen that error code before...What is the numbers on your mains?...Can you take a photo of your MPU board while your looking for the mains number?...Picture really help and clearer the better...
Jimmy Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 16, 2012, 11:45:40 AM I am not very familiar with the terminology, can you easily describe or show me a photo of what the MPU board and where I can find the "Mains"?
Thanks, Jason Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: SLOTMAN on January 16, 2012, 12:04:10 PM WOW!!! I have never seen that and I have worked on and restored a BUNCH of 5500's. Is the RED reset LED on the face of the MPU on???
I didnt see any reference of a ramclear. Did you try that? I think Mr. Dinoman is asking the mains type because his next suggestion is going to be a ram clear. If you have 92 series your in luck If not, GET THEM!!! For that age machine and in the manner you are using it you dont need anything else. Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 16, 2012, 12:48:41 PM I just wish I knew more so I didnt have to keep asking dumb questions like "what/where is the mains, or mains type" I am at work now but will look this up when I get back this evening.
Thanks for any help you can provide as well. I really appreciate you guys helpping out a perfect stranger. Jason Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: Mr. Dinoman on January 16, 2012, 02:06:23 PM Open the slot door and you should see a metal tray with some push buttons and a red LED...That is the MPU board...With the POWER OFF, pull out the tray and you will see the MPU board... It should look like the one in the photo( in this photo, the chips are not there-those are the chips with numbers we are looking for)...there should be to large chips with tags and numbers on them...Photo those or let us know what they say...
Jimmy Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 16, 2012, 02:27:37 PM Awsome!, I will do this tonight.
THANKS! Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 16, 2012, 11:49:35 PM Hopefully this gives you what you needed from the MPU board.
BTW Slotman, the RED LED reset light is NOT lit. I have not tried a RAM Clear Jason Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: SLOTMAN on January 17, 2012, 12:03:47 AM Can you post the numbers on either u3 u4 u12 or u15. Look for something like 920000 it 950000 or 960000
Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 17, 2012, 10:06:43 AM sorry, there was tape over top and I had real hard time reading.
they all looked to be prefixed with 920000 Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: SLOTMAN on January 17, 2012, 10:34:25 AM That is good. Do you have a module 2 manual for that machine? It details on how to do a ram clear. At this point that seems to be the only option. I have attached a saferam clear procedure
Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 17, 2012, 10:55:56 AM All I have is the ProSlot Opperators manual for FO-5020 Rev B.
Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: SLOTMAN on January 17, 2012, 10:59:27 AM Download the attachment I posted. It explains a ram clear
Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 17, 2012, 11:00:27 AM Awsome, I will try this tonight and report back to you.
Thanks again, Jason Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: cowboygames on January 17, 2012, 01:16:14 PM He states he's been using the machine for 8 years. Might he need to check the cmos battery first?
Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: SLOTMAN on January 17, 2012, 01:36:27 PM I thought about that but there has been times that I have stuck a board in with the battery totally taken out (I remove them before storage) and popped a board in and of course got the "81" error. The error is initiated at 2.5V on the 5500 so I would think he would have gotten the 81 error.
Considering that the majority of options on the 5500 is set via dip switches I dont mind telling people to do a ram clear. Now an IGT, whole different story. Throw the clear chips away. Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: cowboygames on January 17, 2012, 01:49:57 PM Just thought I'd throw it out there given the amount of time and the 5500s propencity for killing batteries. Might be prudent to check it anyway before he clears it. Might save some hassle down the road. Do the 5500s require a external keypad for programming after a clear?
Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: SLOTMAN on January 17, 2012, 01:56:44 PM I agree with definitely checking it. No keypad required. DBV is controlled from dips as is denomination so a clear is pretty harmless.
Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 17, 2012, 02:14:03 PM Ok, so it sounds like I am checking the " cmos battery" first...right?
If so, what do I need in order to do that? (voltage meter?) I dont know where the cmos is or what it looks like. Again sorry for being so clueless, your patience is appreciated. Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: Mr. Dinoman on January 17, 2012, 02:42:32 PM I agree about the CMOS battery, but I think he should try the Ram clear first since this is the main issue...Then if he get the machine working and the error 81 comes up, we will know that is should have cleared the 0-6 error and now he can proceed with changing the battery...At least he will know how to clear the ram...Lets try and get rid of that 0-6
Jimmy Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 17, 2012, 02:53:39 PM 10-4, makes sense to me Dinoman!
Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: SLOTMAN on January 17, 2012, 03:41:56 PM Exactly the same road I was leading. Like I said, a ram clear on a 5500 is probably the most painless. You probably will not even have to change any options back either. If you notice something like the handle not clicking or the hopper paying out when it shouldnt we will address that later but for now:
Clear it!!! Hopefully the 0-6 goes away. If it doesnt and you are forced to get a new board I can supply one with the SMI you need already installed and new battery. It would be plug and play. I think you will not need it though. Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: SLOTMAN on January 17, 2012, 03:43:33 PM BTW: Go to www.rudysdeals.com and download you a module 2 manual for that machine. I would give you one but driving traffic to his site helps him out. If you need anything from the other modules let me know.
Oh, another thing. Karma never hurts either!!!! Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: Mr. Dinoman on January 17, 2012, 03:51:11 PM I agree...Karma a good thing! :137-
Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 17, 2012, 06:24:28 PM man, Im sorry. Didnt realize about the Karma thing until you said something. I will sending it for now on.
Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 17, 2012, 09:57:56 PM Ok so I need to buy (2) ME9X0001-9 clear chips.
I went to the site below. I am a web developer and no offense, but I am not ordering from that site. It isnt secure at all. http://rudysdeals.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=154 (http://rudysdeals.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=154) I will look around for these clear chips elsewhere I guess. I'll check the companies listed on this website. Jason Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: SLOTMAN on January 17, 2012, 10:03:42 PM If you have 92 series mains you DO NOT need clear chips. Don't let anyone tell you different. As for rudysdeals he is trustworthy. He's been around for a while. You still don't need clears for a 92 series main.
Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 17, 2012, 10:13:15 PM If I dont need chips I am really confused as to what I need to do then. I am reading but not understanding much.
I read the MK2-S5MOD-0001 mod 2 manual and it tells me I need clear chips. Thanks, Jason Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: SLOTMAN on January 17, 2012, 10:42:22 PM Pretend that they are in there already. Start at the part where it mentions jumping post 10. The rest is pretty simple. If your fingers aren't hurting when you press the buttons on the mpu you aren't doing it right.
Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: Mr. Dinoman on January 17, 2012, 11:39:54 PM To do a hard reset or RAM Clear, WITH POWER OFF remove the board and locate the JW10 jumper pins ( located right front corner) Put the black jumper over both of the pins, insert the board back in. Push and hold the pseudo coin and test button on the front of the board, turn the power on while holding both buttons in.The display on the front will show CHC then CLC when the lights start flashing release the buttons. Turn the power off remove the board and place the jumper back over just one of the pins.
REMEMBER Don't let go of them until you confirm the "CH C" in the winner paid window. After you release the buttons this will change to "CL C". Then turn off the machine and proceed. GOODLUCK !!

ALSO ALL OF THE ABOVE VENDERS ON NLG WOULD MORE THEN HAPPY ALSO TO HELP YOU, THEY ARE ALL GREAT AND HELPFUL ON ANY OF YOUR NEEDS... I HOPE THIS INFORMATION HELPS YOU GET YOUR GAME UP AND RUNNING... Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: Mr. Dinoman on January 18, 2012, 12:24:14 AM I have been dealing with Rudy's for some time now and always have had great service...His team is awesome!...I always recommend Rudy's Deals when someone needs parts or info... :244- :131- :244-
Jimmy Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 18, 2012, 12:55:20 AM Ok, I followed your instructions and everything went as you described it would.
Now: With the door open I have a 5.0. in my LED and with the door closed I just get a .. "two dots" Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 18, 2012, 01:05:20 AM JOHN42355 ...I said that because the website is technically unsafe. It does now utilize a secure socket License to tranfer credit card data thus leaves itself open to security risks and doesnt meet federal laws for internet safety. The way the site is now, someone could be hacking and gaining access to all credit card and demographic data for anyone who has purchased online. I downloaded a free manual because I was instructed to, as far as paying with my credit card online. I appologize for hurting anyones feelings, but I am not risking identity theft to purchase clear chips for my slot machine.
Everyone here has been great to me and I have made many points in saying so. Im sure the vendors are great as well. I never insinuated any different, I only mentioned about Rudy's since I couldnt find the clear chips I thought I needed anywhere else and was hoping for a referal to another "secure" website. Thanks again to everyone, Jason Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: SLOTMAN on January 18, 2012, 01:21:22 AM That is a successful clear. Code 50 is door open. Two dots is because a game has not been played yet
Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: stayouttadabunker on January 18, 2012, 01:37:22 AM ...It does now utilize a secure socket License to tranfer credit card data thus leaves itself open to security risks... You're saying that the website has a secure socket license right? So how's that unsafe? Your statement seems contradictory to me? :103- Anyways, I've bought many things from Rudy's website and I think they have a bunch of top notch people onboard! :89- I will buy from them again anytime! :133- My credit never has a lot of money in it so if some scumbag wants to take a chance and break federal laws by hacking into a website and steal people's accounts - they'd be pretty &%#@ dumb! Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 18, 2012, 10:11:48 AM stayouttadabunker, Obviously, it was a typo on my part. the website "does NOT utilize a secure socket License to tranfer credit card data thus leaves itself open to security risks."
Im sure they are wonderful people and I never said otherwise. That doent mean that their website is secure. In fact a= Im almost sure they have no idea that it isnt secure. I am a website developer as a profession, and just like you guys know a hell of allot more than me when it comes to games and slots, frankly I know what the hell I am talking about when it comes to website security. Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: SLOTMAN on January 18, 2012, 11:21:31 AM Jhoward, out of curiosity did you see a section of rudysdeals to add your credit card information because it looks like payment can only be made through PayPal. He seems to be using a opencart with a PayPal API. Once your tunneled through PayPal it is a SSL socket. Truth is, not many browsers utilize TLS 1.1 or 1.2 and a little known secret called BEAST has successfully cracked PayPal and Google encryption cookies on anything less than TLS 1.1 so I guess the only way to stay safe and sleep is to trade sheep and cattle. I actually find it amusing when my credit card company calls me and asks me if I am trying to buy gas in Bangladesh or Pakistan.
I keep my credit cards maxed out so I dont need to worry about that anymore. With that aside, did you get your machine running? This post seems to have gotten way off track Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 18, 2012, 12:03:19 PM Yeah, I agree.
I am so appreciative of everyones help here. Like I said, my machine currently just shows the . . (two dots) which apparently means I am ready to go. If I try and add coins in the machine they just go straight through. I think I remember somewhere that I had to have credits in the machine (I guess I need to add some dollars) in order for it to work. I honestly ran out of time to mess with it, so I will have to try again this evening. Jason Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: stayouttadabunker on January 18, 2012, 12:45:30 PM Jason,
Thanks for your answer on the mix up on the typo! Anyways, I turned on my Bally 5500 for the 1st time in about 4 months, to see if I could give you a hand right? I wanted to perform a RamClear but I was more interested to see if I could try and duplicate your "0-6" and the 4 dot error code. I've never seen the 0-6 error nor the four dot. After I booted it up, I threw in a quarter and won like 4 credits...I turned around to reach for my RamClear sheet ( sometimes I actually read instructions! :72- ) and the machine started playing on it's own! :25- I have see what the heck is going on with mine before I can help ya... :47- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8juo-pZZSw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8juo-pZZSw) Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: SLOTMAN on January 18, 2012, 01:15:19 PM Hello, I am a bit of a novice here so I am just going to spout out as much info as I can in hope something might help someone help me. The machine did work fine for about 8 years. It is in very good condition. We are not selling it or making any money off of it, its just for private use. Jhoward, you stated you had this machine for 8 years. I would assume that you would know what code 50 is and two dots mean (50 comes up anytime you open the door). If this is a machine that you just received and dont know the history behind it be honest, it will help with diagnosis.

There's a glass prism behind the coin-in optics board under the coin comparator behind the whole coin mechanism bracket. If it's not in there, the coin-in optics will not register a credit. Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: SLOTMAN on January 18, 2012, 11:42:04 PM What happens when you push the little white test button on the coin optics? Originally you stated this machine worked for 8 years but some of the comments lead me to believe you just acquired it. Is that true???
Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: cowboygames on January 18, 2012, 11:44:18 PM I'm gonna guess that after he cleared it he didn't return the jumper to it's origional position or lost denom and/or limit settings when he cleared it
Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 18, 2012, 11:48:10 PM Nope, had it for 8 years and it had been working for 7 1/2.
So the glasss prism is there but what I found when taking thing apart was a red wire broken off at the plug that goes in to the comparator!!! Im guessing that is the culprit. (photo attached, I used a piece of black rubber being so you could see it better. BTW, I definately did return the jumper to its original position, but thanks for checking cowboy. Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 18, 2012, 11:51:16 PM This wouldnt explain my issue with the bill validator though, perhaps cowboy is on to something there with denomination or limit settings?
Jason Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: SLOTMAN on January 18, 2012, 11:55:21 PM Denomination is dip switch controlled. If the jumper was left on he would have never gotten a code 50. Is there any codes after 50 like 54 or 31??? I suggest you use the test features that are outlined in module two.
What happens when you press the little button on the coin optics?? Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: cowboygames on January 19, 2012, 12:08:23 AM Dang it! Thought I was on to something there. :30- My S6000 had a similar problem, but with the yellow wire. I don't remember if it affected validator use or not though.

Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: Mr. Dinoman on January 19, 2012, 12:19:56 AM Also check the switch on the MPU board...Is it in the "Coin Mech" position (down) or in the Up position?...I could not tell from the photo...
Title: Re: Ballys S5500 Help with code 0-6? dont see any ref. to this code Post by: jhoward on January 19, 2012, 12:41:06 AM - Coin Mech was down (must have bumped it)
- I flipped Coin Mech to on (up). The Coin Mech now accepts coins but does not register them as credits (im guessing my lil red wire) The BV is now working and it is reading credits. (did that have something to do with the coin mech?) If not I am wondering why the green light came on the BV and now it works? The only thing it would seem isnt working is the coin mech.
