Title: Reel errors
Post by: jvanhoey on March 15, 2009, 08:03:41 PM
After getting a third wheel error I hit the reset button and now I'm getting a first wheel error.  After hitting reset the error still occurs.  Is it time to reset the RAM?

When the door is closed make sure the reels don't touch the front display when it is spinning, just a little rub will give you lots of trouble  :37- and cause reel tilts.

What game do have? Is this an older Universal or Ultra Series?

Alright, I know who you are now, just read my email.
You have an Ultra Series.

Your board is loose. All that moving the machine around.

Open the machine door and shut the power off.
Open the MPU door.
Use your thumbs and push on the white tabs on the each end of the board to seat the board. Kinda in a rocking motion. Left, then right and then both.
Close the MPU door and power up.
If that doesn't help, do it again.
This is a common problem when moving these machines.
You can get all kinds of problems when the board is not seated like it won't take coins, error 31-hopper overpay, and reel errors.
If this doesn't help, email me or call me.

Thanks for the responses everyone.  I have a Universal Ultra.  I'm going to e-mail Jim on it.  I'm sure he's right.
