Did this issue just appear,
Are your Hard Meters plugged in
Do you have Hard Meters
If no Hard Meters is the Jumper Connector installed

The issue came up after I ram cleared the machine for the first time

The meters are plugged in so that would answer questions two three and four

I am quite new to bally's so any info would be helpful

When you where setting up your options there is a section on some OS for Hard Meter configuration if you set this up, RAM Clear again but leave this section alone, don't set

Thanks for the help.

I did set it and i believe that it is the problem because the other ballys I set up i didnt interfere in the hard meters setup.

I need help with some of the doors.

I have one that has the following doors open. MVLSB. I have been able to close all the other doors but the S i dont know. Where is this switch?

Also the lights in the belly and coin tray are not lighting. How could i solve this?

Thanks for the help in advance.

M (Main Door),
L (Logic Door),
S (Stacker Door),
V (Bill Validator
Door),
B (Belly Door),
D (Drop Door).


"S" Indicates the electronic switch circuit monitoring the Cash Box Door (Stacker) is open. The following causes apply: door not completely closed due to damage or
foreign object, disconnected or damaged switch, or disconnected, damaged or incorrect cable connections.


Solution:
Insert the cash box completely. Check the door, door switch, or switch cable. Replace if necessary. Ensure the door is closed.

Drop Door Harness comes off P6 on the Backplane Board, the Drop Door is the switch that mounts inside the Machine Stand and is used mostly with On-Line/Monitoring Systems especially when things are collected or stored inside the stand (think coins if still used)

In most instances you will find that the Drop Door Harness has a Jump Wire Connector installed to simulate Closed

The pin out for P6 is attached
