o.k. i finally got my bv working and it accepts bills but the problem is when i put a dollar in the hopper pays it out with four quaters? instead of giving me credits any ideas i have sp932 chip if that helps

Open the door, power "OFF" the machine and remove the MPU.
Make sure the 4th dipswitch on the MPU is in the "OFF" position.

Then go into the menus by powering up and with the door open - press the test button until you see a zero in the "Coins Played" window on the reel display.
Then press the Change/Service button on the deck until you see an [8-X].
This is the "Bill Acceptor Pay Mode".
Press the "Spin" button until you see [8-1]

Close the door and throw an old $1.00 dollar bill in it.
You should get 4 credits on the credits display!

dip switch is off didnt have 8-1 option only 8-2

it was on 5-0

From the PSR sheet on your SP932 Game Prom...>>>

Bill Acceptor Pay Mode <0> [8]   
This option can be changed only if DIP switch 4 is off.  Changes to this option are ignored when the credit type is noncredit.  The options are pay coins from the hopper {2}, convert bills to credits {1}, or follow the player-initiated credit {0}.  If set to follow the player-initiated credit, bills are converted to credits if the player has selected the credit mode, or paid from the hopper if the player has selected the noncredit mode.


The [5-0] that you reported seeing is the "Player-Selectable Credit" section of the menus...>>>

Player-Selectable Credit <0> [5]   
Options are standard credit or noncredit {0}, player-initiated credit {1} and player-initiated noncredit {2}.  The player-initiated credit option defaults to the noncredit mode when the credit meter remains at zero for more than 30 seconds, or when any accumulated credits are cashed out.  The player-initiated noncredit option defaults to the credit mode if (a) the game is idle for 30 seconds, and it remains in the credit mode when credits are cashed out, and (b) coupon credits are accumulated.  If set to {0}, coupons are not accepted.


Red is what you see, green is what you want.

o.k. i must not be doing something right the dip switch 4 is off i turn on machine and when i see 0 in coins played it says 5-0 then i turn jackpot key and i can find 8-2 but cant change it to 8-1 keep in mind im new at this it took me 30 min. to find those little dip swithes on cpu...lol

might of found the problem the dip switches are #0-7 on the circuit board but the dip switches are numbered 1-8 so what do i go by  :103-

4th is 4th is 4th

O.k. which one is 4

That's screwed up!  :97-
Go by the #4 on the dipswitch itself - disregard the printed stuff on the stupid board that some dummy put there.


 
Now...who the heck puts a "0" for dipswtich #1 -
when there's NO bloody dipswitch named number #zero ????!?!?!??! :208-

As you can see I have the dip switch off and I think I did everything you said but its still on 8-2 and it won't let me switch to 8-1 I don't know what I'm doing wrong I'm getting frustrated!!!

press the change button...stop turning the reset key!

If that don't work...change the [5-0] to [5-1] then try to change the [8-2] to a [8-1]

i hit the test button get it to 5-0 then hit the change button get it to 8-2 then my spin reels button turns off and wont let me switch to 8 -1 i allready tried it on 5-1,5-2 same result am i doing something wrong or is this correct

If the lamp on the SPIN button turns off, then it's NOT enabled.

Hmm.... :103-

When you turn the Reset key...the SPIN button lamp stays "ON" as you go through the menu?
I'm wondering if hitting the Change button is "Locking In" the setting -
instead of flipping you through the menu.

In the PSR, you willl see that changing the setting for the bill pay requires that the 4th dipswitch be "OFF" and the credit type be set at a non-credit.

I'm attaching the SP932 PSR for you below....>>>

i can cycle threw the programs using credit button and max bet button and the spinreels button lights up on programs i can change or test.. at least thats what it looks like to me this is my first machine and ive only had it for a month now so im still learning. hope this helps

5-0 is non-credit is that correct if not how do you know if your on non-credit

[5-0] is also "standard" credits.

Go ahead and try to set the Bill Pay for [8-1] = "convert bills to credits " using the Credit button to cycle to [8-X].
Whatever it's on, change it to [8-1] using the SPIN button.
Once you see the [8-1], close the door and make sure the latch is fully in the down position.
The lights on the display should go out briefly then come back on...
after a few seconds...the reels may do their "maiden spins"
and the Insert Coin light should come on signifying that the game is ready to accept coins or bills.
Any accepted bills should be converted to credits
and be displayed on the credits window on the reel glass.

That would be the Change button (far left one) but it only works on older SP versions

Do you have credits on the machine?  You can't change the settings when you have credits on the machine.

  :25- Good thinkin' knagl !!! :89-

I mean, I realize that we're trying to solve the problem of getting bills to credits, but it's still possible that there are credits on the machine from previous wins.  :89-

Older SP chips like SP 731 I could change any settings including limits with credits on it.

Any of the SP above  the 1000 mark I could not change things with credits on it.
 
I am not sure about SP chips that are in the 800's its been too long since I have played with a S+.
No I wont go back to one unless it is given to me with free shipping.
I am definitely spoiled with my S2000.

What I would do is just use a Clear chip...erase everything, install the proper SET chip to re-enable the DBV
and go from there.
The bills accepted should automatically go to credits by default of the SET chip.
