Hello i just got me a Double Red, White & Blue and the game plays but will not use credit it just spits out the coins and when you win the bell rings any info on how to change this?

ok will i got that working but does anyone know how to get this hing to take bills the dbv runs its setup when you turn on the machine but it does not do anything after that

Your limits may be set to low or the bv isn't enabled would be my first two guesses. You need to check limit settings for the first and you'll need a set chip for the second

well the settings are 1000 and i have a chipset but when i installed the chip and turn on the game it dont do anything but sit there the mobo is saying its a 1993

Have you looked at the setting to see if the bill validator is enabled in the machine or not? You don't need the SET chip for that.

Also, do you have instructions on how to use your SET chip?

i think its on but not 100% sure on that and no i dont have any instructions but there is some other chip that came with the game its not a set chip i will get the info off of in a little bit and post what it is maybe you guys know i have never seen it before

ok i got time today so i looked at the other chip i have that came with the game is a s-plus utility chip ivc123 so can someone tell me what it is and what it does thanks

ivc123 is a RAM clear chip.  Don't use it right now.

Do you have a SET chip?

yes i have one a 015 but when i went to use it the game just sits there and dose nothing i was just in the menu settings and when i go in got the credits it will not go past line 9 so i dont know if something is just not set right with it or not lol

here are the instructions for the IVC123 and the Set015 chip..But as stated above.DO NOT use the ivc123 at this time.

well i dont know if it was used before i got the game the guy told me the cridets did not work after they installed the chip but i got them working now but the dbv is still not working and if you say not to use it i will not lol =)

i dont see the instructions

Click on the paperclip at the bottom of my post

ahh im blind lol thx

Make sure you always have ZERO credits on the machine when you're trying to make setting changes, too.  The machine will prevent you from changing many of the options if there are credits on the machine.

yeah it sits at 0 most of the time but last time i tryed the 015 chip it just sat there not even a 0 in the coins played but i will look at it tomorrow and see if i can get it to work

I know this sounds dumb, but make sure that you're putting the SET chip in correctly, note the notch on the chip and match it with the notch on the GAME PROM socket.

yep i did when you know when you get to the set up under the game chat the first menu tells you if the dbv is connected well mine is showing 0 0so i dont know if something is not hooked up right so i will run over the game and see if every thing looks good

I just did this on mine tonight, when you have the set chip in and get to the 9 0 after booting up, then hit the spin reel to change the 0 to a 1, then hit the white reset button next to or behind the power switch, that should enable the BV.

ok so i got it to go into the setup mode but after i turn it on and hit the test button to take me out of set the setup menu per the instructions it took me to coins played 0 and credits 0 then when it hit the test button again it took me out so i need to know what does that other menu mean and the DBV still is not taking money

ShadyNova, here is the link to the document I used to do what you are describing.  Kinda took it slow and easy and was able to get my bill validator enabled on second try I think.  You can't skip any of the steps are you have to start all over.  I don't know it well enough to describe it in detail but I was able to follow that document and got it going.  Basically its only a couple of steps after you get the set chip in and boot up.  0 in coins played, hit the reset button one time and you should see the 9  0, hit spin reels until it reads 9  1, then hit the reset button one more time, follow those instructions to set the denomination for the machine and hit the reset again.  When Coins Played is back to 0 then turn off the machine, replace your original chip and follow the last the directions with the 61 etc...  That got my bill validator to the point it would light up and take a bill, but now mine spits it back at me so got more steps to go on mine, hope yours does better.

that is the same thing i used. I went into the setup 2 times and got the same thing when i was trying to exit so i dunno

ok so this is what im not getting when i go in the menu setup by pressing the test button see pic so i need to know how to get this working in the IGT S+ PSRs & TEST OPTION SHEETS SIMPLIFIED it tells me to see page 12 but there is not page 12 so now what???

Since I wrote the Test Option Sheets, there is no page 12. Don't know what SP or  BVD your using but there is a note at the bottom of the SP731 sheet.

"If using SP731 change DIP switch # 10 on BV 200 for bills to credit. (some other SP you may have to do the same)"

Ron (r273)

im using the DBV-200 and i did switch it over #10 to on

ok so i got the DBV working but now when i put a 1.00 and it reads it but spits it back out so now how do i fix that lol

change switch #10 back,  you just changed the IDO setting from A 23 to a 22, that" why it spits it back to you.

to get it to go to credits with a 731  press the white test button  until you see a  5_1 or a 5_2 in the winners paid window,  press the spin button until youyou see 5_0  close door and you should be good to go.

This is the same issue I'm seeing with my 5x s-plus machine.  BV light comes on, bill goes in and comes right back out.  I'm running a SP6273 and SS1271 chip.  I've tried everything people have suggested.  Beginning to wonder if the BV is bad.  Not trying to hi-jack your link, just seems we are having a very similar issue.

Look at reply #23

mine seem to be lined up good and every thing seems to work ok but when you put the money in it will take it hold it for about 30 secs and then spit it back out its not like it takes it in and then spits it right back out at you

Hi ShadyNova,

I am pretty new at this stuff as well but I was having a problem with my BV such as you are.  Turns out the acceptor head on my BV was broken, dirty, not calibrated or something because yesterday I found another head and swapped it out on my BV and now its working as expected.  Not saying this is your issue but sounds like we have made all the same adjustments and before swapping the head, we were ending up with the same results.  Light comes on, bill goes in, bill comes out.  I still have a setting on mine wrong because if I don't hit the Cash Out button prior to inserting the bill, out come the quarters but other than that its working like a charm.

Good luck,
Mike

yeah thats what i have been thinking too i will have to get one off of ebay then unless someone else knows where i can get one and then i need to get a kit for mine the belly glass is broke
