IGT S Plus CPU 10 mhz board..  The chip is 5 coin wild cherry  -Error code 61-1 cannot get it cleared reset the S plus machine error 61 then I close a door turn the reset key then I have 61-1, from that point on its locked up.  Needs to be turned off and back on.  Then I'm back on 61.  I've reset the game several times replace the door optical sensors.  This all started when I reset the machine and now when I open the door that topped light does not come on no reaction at all like you used to.  I have replace the motherboard twice same thing.  Is there another device or board needs to be replaced to fix this?  Note if I do not push to reset and shut the door it stays on 61 then when I turn the key.  It goes through the menu and then back to 61.  When I've pushed the reset goes to 61 - 1 then locks up.  I have three new 10mhz mother boards all do the same thing.  I have one16mhz board doesn't work and all I was using the same chip from the 10.  I didn't know how to get the right chip or what I actually need to run a 16 or is it really worth it changing.  How would I checked the door optical if it's working correctly when the door shut.  If the light doesn't come on and that all wheels don't move?  When it did before.  Also would be better to go with a 16 instead of the 10?  What else am I need to go with the 16mhz board I have.  I have a five coins play wild cherry machine full size.  All the doors on the machine and sensors are shut.  The door sensor could this be bypass?  To see if it's working OK. :99-

Like2Know - You should start anew thread really. Hopefully a Mod can help us out there. First of all, lets slow down, as you are creating more problems. Don't mean to sound harsh, but troubleshooting cannot be effective until we establish a baseline and address one issue at a time, WITHOUT changing anything else meanwhile.

Please tell us what board you have in the machine (16 or 10), and what chips you are using. That could be your only issue, as 10mhz chips will not function on a 16mhz board, and vice versa.

Once we know this we can address the issue at hand.

I'm fuzzy on the S+ models, but aren't you suppose to turn the jackpot reset key with the door open while you have the 61 error code? Then when you get the 61-1 you hold the reset button till it dings, then shut the door. You stated you closed the door then turned the key. Like I said, I'm fuzzy on these, but sounds right to me

No, cowboy, you got it exactly backwards. Re-train your brain to remember the 2 digit before the 3 digit code...  :89-

61 HOLD white button/reset 2-3 sec until DING and/or display changes to 61-1
61-1 Close Door and turn Key ONE time

Thanks Roz, nothing like a little refresher once in a while. :3- I think it's been about 5 years since I played with an S+

No problem. I wake up in the middle of the night saying it.... :72-

We have tons of calls and emails regarding 61s and 12s...funny how that is with slots. No one would think of calling someone who had a car for sale and ask them how to fix theirs...or a refrigerator, TV, guinea pig, etc....

CV! Refer them to NLG! :89-
We'll mess with their minds!  :72-

We try, believe me....most claim they are too busy, never look at Internet, or are not "computer savvy"....Most won't be quiet long enough to listen, so that makes it fun...

After reset it have the 61 - 1 the machine locks up.  It's frozen until you turn a power off the and on again and then you're back to 61 all over again when I've pushed a white button I do not hear anything no Ding for 1 second or 10 seconds the main jackpot bell is not installed.  I'd like to get this backup and running like it was even if I have to adapt the 16 board on it if there's an advantage on that one.  Also it on the door optical is that wired into the mother board?  Or is there another component that may be out that needs to be replace?

Can you please answer the questions above? We cannot help determine what could be causing your problems until we know what BOARD and CHIPS you have in your machine. You mentioned you have both 10 and 16mhz boards.

I agree with CVslots.  Slow down, and please answer the questions asked of you.  Nobody ever asked if you had a jackpot bell installed.

For the record, the proper way to clear a 61 code is:

Open the door, press and hold the white "Self Test" button for about five seconds.  If your speaker is working, you will hear a small "ding" from it as the display changes from 61 to 61-1.  If you don't hear the ding, that's okay, so long as it changes to 61-1.

Next, close and fully latch the door, ensuring that the latch is all the way down.  (Also make sure that the bill validator stacker door is closed and latched, if applicable.)

Finally, turn the jackpot reset keyswitch on the right side of the machine once, then release it.  If all goes well, the displays will go blank, the reels will spin then stop, and the machine will be ready to go.

Kinda sounds like his key switch is not working. Look inside where the switch is and make sure the 2 wires are connected. He has 61 then 61-1 then nothing from there until he turns it off then back to 61. If not key switch then door optics are out of alignment. Remove reel glass to see of put tape on side and mark where the 2 optics are then close door and see if the marks line up.

JP key is working fine...

Good catch CV!  :209-
Like2know needs to folllow knagl's directions to the T.
We need to see after getting the [61-1] in the display if the Reset key works when the door is closed   !!

My machine has a IGT S Plus CPU 10 mhz board with the VOL pod and the dip switch on it.  and the chip is a wild cherry 5 coin play, and it's not running at this time it was until I tried reset the bill DBV device that is when it all started I'm pretty sure everything's fine it's just doesn't know the door shut the light on top won't go off is there something else other than the mother board.  that control the door being something else I can replace.?  How can I make the light on top stop blinking when the door is close.

The candle will not stop flashing until a game is played. Forget about the candle!!

What is the CHIP NUMBER of the chip you are using? Wild Cherry 5 coin does not tell us. We need the numbers off of the chips. One should start with SP and other chip will start with SS.

You said you replaced the door optics? Are they aligned properly? Place a piece of tape on the outside of the machine and mark where the "eye" is on the optic. Now do the same for the cabinet. Close the door and see if they line up...within 1/8" should do.

Second question, do you know if the optics you used as replacements are good? There's a trick with a digital camera or phone camera, but I don't know what it is, Stayoutofthebunker or one of the other guys can tell you. Or just use the SEARCH button up top.

How to check door optical to verify their working correctly?   I hear you can do with the camera

Do you know the chip number yet?
See this link to find out how...>>>

Here's a link below to what it looks like on the door emitter optic through a video camera.
You can use a phone cam too.
Without you yet telling us what SP you have, I can't tell you how to activate it though...>>>

sp1048 is the chip #

Okay thanks for getting the chip info!  :3- FYI that SP1048 uses a very different SET chip...SET058 to be exact.
It's not a very common one but really shouldn't have any impact on whether or not you can get past the [61-1] code.

However, the SP1048 chip came programmed with the [61-3] error code, which was new at the time
and meant the machine was "detecting a hardware malfunction."
To clear a [61-3], all you did was open the door, and press the Test button for a few seconds
and it would display [61-1] in the Winner Paid window.
From there you would clear the [61-1] code as normal by CLOSING the door and turning the Jackpot Reset key once.
Don't worry about this as you're not getting this code right now
but it was interesting for me to find and I just wanted to point it out.  :72-

To activate the door emitter in the Output Tests to make it flash, all you do is:
1). Open the door
2). Press the test button until you see a [2]
3). Flip the Reset key until you get to number #24. (That's the Door Optics Transmitter test number.)
4). Turn on your camera and point it at the emitter optic bulb on the door frame.
5). Press the SPIN button.
You will see thru the viewfinder of your camera the emitter flash sort of a blue-ish flashing - that means it's working.
To get out of the Output Tests, just close the door.

I have not yet tried to figure out how to diagnose/test a cabinet-side reciever optic for functionality though.
My guess is that it can be done by merely checking for continuity with a multimeter?
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong? Thanks!

Hey! While you have your camera out....look at the front of your TV remote control thru the viewfinder
and press any button on the remote!
It's pretty much the same deal!  :96-

 Update I've pull the CMOS chips and then put a back in.  Now it goes to 63 1 & in the coin play box #5

Why did you take it out?  :103-

People on the post's were trying that so I thought I try something different.  and it was working great until I close the door then went back to this 60 - 1 and a five in the coin box.  And at least I know now nothing's burn out it just needs to be configured right

 3200 error   I keep opening and closing the door. It still goes back to 3200 error The hopper is clear.  How can I test the brake on the hopper?  to see if it's working correctly

I'm pretty sure you installed the hopper while the machine was ON. That is the only time I have had that happen. Turn off machine, remove hopper and turn machine back on. Hopefully you can play one game. Turn machine back off and install hopper and I think you will be fine. I think that is what I had to do.

 3200 error  if I remove the CMOS chips started up and turn off.  Put it back turn it on it works until it pays slot comes up then it doesn't pay and goes into their back to 3200 if I do the same thing again I can play it  it will not paid no winnings looking for some other suggestions to fix a problem I'm sure it is reconfigured right which I am not doing correctly

What's it do when you put the hopper in from your other machine? Does the error follow the hopper or stay with the machine? S+ hoppers are just pieces of hardware, you can't hurt anything by switching them between machines.

Are you hearing the hopper try to work? If not, you can look at the lower left of the hopper and see the motor. There is a plastic lever that locks the motor. Lift it a little so you can turn the motor by hand. If it won't turn one way try the other. Watch the wheel shelf to see if something comes around. I have seen dimes stuck in quarter hoppers where someone put pocket change in them. If it is jammed then remove the object and turn the motor the other way to be sure it is clear.

3200  is a coin out tilt.  you can test the unit in the machine or out of the machine.   In the machine:  get the machine into the play mode, but DO NOT PLAY THE MACHINE.  press the white test button until you get a #3 in the coins played window,  turn the jackpot reset key one time, it should start the hopper and it should count out 10 coins and stop. you could do this test all day long if you want.

out of the machine: there are two actions that take place when the hopper motor is turned on.  LOOK at the hopper motor and observe a lever that will pivot when it is pushed down and when released it will go back to it original position,  when that lever is pushed, it also causes another action, it should push a red motor lock that is controlled by a spring out of the motor rotor so the rotor could spin and thereby allowing the motor to turn.( this is called the motor brake assembly). If you push down and hold this lever down with your left hand, reach in side the hopper with your right hand and move the star agitator CCW, ( it will take some strength to turn this wheel) . If the wheel does not turn, then something is binding it.  If the hopper had a higher torque  motor installed (usually for dollar machines)  you probably won't get it to turn by hand.  the hopper motor is a 115 vac motor, you can fashion a cheater cord to apply voltage to the hopper and observe it's functions.  Get an inexpensive  extension cord, cut off the receptacle end , put on two quick connects (same size as the one on the motor)  now remove the two wires from the motor, install your cheater cord in there place, hook the cheater cord to a power strip with a on/off switch, now you can turn on the hopper and turn off the hopper using the switch. 

If you determine the wheel is binding then we can suggest a way to find out why.


Hope this helps

Jim

3200 error keeps coming back.  The hoppers free and clear.  Nothing is jammed.  Tried it with a full hopper and a empty one and same thing.  If I'd get it to go pass it goes to 61 error then I'd push the reset then I get 65 3 turned it again 65 1 and again 61 1 then it locks up.  Turn off and on and I'm back to 3200 Error.

if you can never get that code to clear then the door optics have to be misaligned or bad!!!!   can you enter the tests with the white test button?   if you can , go to the test where there is a 10_1 in the winne rpaid window, use the jackpot key switch to scroll down that menu to a 13_1 , close the main door, and latch it shut. the 1 should toggle back and forth 1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,etc.  if it does this then the optics are good . if it doesn't change then you have a problem. either the cash can switch is open, the belly door switch( if installed) is open, or something with the optics, board wiring or ?

but until the OPTICS ARE WORKING YOUR MACHINE WILL NEVER WORK!!!!!

Hope this helps

Jim

Here's a link to a short video clip checking door optics on an S+ using the Tests as Jim suggested...>>>

http://youtu.be/u8VA6pE_P8M (http://youtu.be/u8VA6pE_P8M)

3200 error keeps coming back.  The hoppers free and clear.  Nothing is jammed.  Tried it with a full hopper and a empty one and same thing.  If I'd get it to go pass it goes to 61 error then I'd push the reset then I get 65 3 turned it again 65 1 and again 61 1 then it locks up.  Turn off and on and I'm back to 3200 Error. OPTICS ARE WORKING

My only S+ does the same thing when I removed the hopper and restall it without giving it a good push.  I clear it by simply pulling hopper out and reinstalling it with a bit of push.  Could be wiring too or hopper itself.  Have you tried putting another hopper in the machine??  Hope this helps a little.

The red pawl on the hopper brakes may be worn out.
A [3200] error code happens when the brakes don't stop the coin in time from reaching the hopper optics.
The machine then throws out the [3200] code.
Have you tried the hopper test Jim mentioned above?
It makes the hopper spit out 10 coins then stop then you should be getting the error [3200], if the brakes weren't serviced.

If the optics are working, then you would have been able to get into the test modes.

Did you do the hopper test in the bad machine as I had suggested???

The S+ machine has built in diagnostics, it will test every feature that  machine has to offer.

Can you play the machine using the white test button with the door open???

 Jim

  

The primary cause of the [3200] error code is the brakes failing on the hopper.
Here's a picture that might help you and a link to the thread from over 4 years ago...>>>

http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=10751.msg93491#msg93491 (http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=10751.msg93491#msg93491)

thought 3100   was an extra coin out code, usually caused by a dirty brake assembly???


3200  code  is a coin out tilt      I assume this means no coin out???

I don't know about that.  3300 (Hopper Empty) means no coins are coming out. 

I've never been clear about what a 3200 is, unless it's an indication that the coin-out optics are blocked.

Seems like I went thru a situation like this with one of my S+ machines a few years ago, turned out to be the switch on the BV door, it had broken and I didn't notice till I found a part in the bottom next to the can.  I removed the switch and wired the two wires together and then was able to move forward.  I'm old, been years but I seem to remember all these same numbers, drove me nuts for a couple of days.  Hope this helps,

Mike

Yes Jim, [3100] does mean extra coin out, but if the brakes aren't working right, they will
stop the coin right between the hopper optics and set off the [3200] error code.
IGT defines [3200] as a "coin jam in hopper".
I've never had the coins jam in the hopper but the [3200] code seems to go off is when
there's a massive coin jam under the knife.

I hate that when that happens cause usually the knife isn't much good after that.
We'll lay the knife on a couple of coins and weigh down the middle of knife for a few days
hoping to bend it back into a usable shape...   :72-

I it started to run.  For the little bit.  Until it landed on a pay slot.  But then  No coins would come out and it goes back to 3200 error

Please try to answer some of the reply's posted here - we are trying to help you get
your machine working the way you want it to.
Have you performed the hopper tests prescribed?
Jim has asked you twice now.

It's time you've serviced that hopper.
Make sure it works before trying to play a game.

Here's some links of how an S+ hopper works...>>>

I clean the hopper thoroughly.  finally it started to work find.  When I shutdown.  Then starting the back up.  Then I get A 49 error.  it stopped and that where I am at now

The [49] error code is the reel mechanism is disconnected.
Look at anything related to the reels, harnesses and connections.
This includes the male pins and female receptor pins in the Molex housings.

Once you've checked this out, open and close the door and the error will go away.
If the error comes back, then you've missed something.

Everything's hooked up tight and secured nothing loose on all harnesses and wire connections and the door optical works

Do you still have the [49] error code after closing the door?

When the doors close still shows 49 error

You've missed something.
Do you have a multimeter?

I have another question.
When you close the door and push the door latch down, does the number is the "Coins Played" window stay lit as you watch the display?
                                                                           
                                                                       Or

                                          does it momentarily go out for a few seconds?




Make note of this and let me know and I will try to help you
further get your machine working the way you want it to.

49 error disappeared only now have 3200 error with the door close it blinks 3200 in the winner paid.  coin play is 0 blinking.  When the doors open winner paid shows 3200 flashing to a 9, coin played shows blinking 1, if I shut the door and turn the key it goes to 00, Turnagain   5 1,    10  3 or four more turns is  where I started.

It looks like the door optics are working.

See Reply #28

You will never get rid of the [3200] error code until you service your hopper correctly.

how can I do this myself ?

I did that test. It check out  good.

okay, if the hopper delivers 10 coins every time   you do the hopper test, then there should be no reason it would work incorrectly when playing a game.  :103-

it's working fine.  Thank you.  Except for the bill it will not accept it goes then comes back out I have the chip to reset that but every time I go to the process still doesn't work.  Is there more than one reset chip for this.

Are you saying that the bill validator takes the bill in, then spits it back out?  If so, that's the bill validator rejecting the bill you inserted.  The bill validators on S+ machines will only accept older currency -- the newest bills in circulation mostly won't work.  Try a $1 bill in good condition -- if that's accepted, your bill validator is enabled and working normally.

Not that I'm aware of.
The SP1048 uses the SET058 chip to enable the bill acceptor, but it seems that it's working - you just need older bills as Knagl said.

I try that with a lot of them

Go to the bank and get the SMALL head 20, 50, or 100. You probably have a DBV 200 bill acceptor.

 How do you a credit on the machine when you insert a bill.  If you put a bill in now.  It gets change no credit to the $100 bill and get $100 in quarters.  In the menu number is eight I've tried a O close the door reset didn't work backs to eight menu and try the 1 same thing did not work.  I have the jbv 12 unit.

Thank you the small heads work

I'm sorry I have the jcm wba 12 unit

Turn off dipswitch #4 on the MPU board.

  can I change to credit only when inserting a bill but when you win it pays COINS out.  So if you put a 10 or 20 in you have to play all of it but if you win off that you get  back coins.  Right now all it does is give you change whenever you put in.  In the menu number eight and needs to be set to zero but when I go in there it starts out with one two three or four I'd tried all of them and it only makes change no credit I wanna make it if the insert any money you only get credit if you win that it pays coins

can I change to credit only when inserting a bill but when you win it pays COINS out.  So if you put a 10 or 20 in you have to play all of it but if you win off that you get  back coins.  Right now all it does is give you change whenever you put in.  In the menu number eight and needs to be set to zero but when I go in there it starts out with one two three or four I'd tried all of them and it only makes change no credit I wanna make it if the insert any money you only get credit if you win that it pays coins

let me check how to set up the Bill Acceptor Pay mode, Help is coming.... wait ...   :88-

press test switch to enter to self test mode, go to menu 0 in "coins played",  and 8 in "winner paid",  0 in credits

the "credits" display will show you the option you have setup now and these are other options:

0= player initiated 
1=bills to credit 
2= pays from hopper

in order to change this options you need keychip

where  do I get 1 ?

i have a set 15 & run it once

Lets try to change it first because even if the manual says "keychip required to change the options" yesterday I tried in  2 machines in one i was not able  to change it, but in the second one i was. so lets see if you are lucky  jejeje

Key chip for a S+?? It only turns on BVD and sets denom.  I am thinking he has his settings too low. He has stated that bills go to credit but when he hits a win the hopper pays out. Need to know what SP chip he has and someone will chime in with a PAR sheet

Like2know- well thats what you are trying to do?

he wants to Insert a bill and acumulate the credits. not change mode (the mode is setup now)

Menu eight options 0 or one and it's on one and I cannot change it to 0 it doesn't come up at all.  It goes one through four and back and I tried all of them same thing changed billing only to Two coins

You are missing a step. Open door push white test button until you get a 5 in winner paid window and probably a 0 in credit window. turn reset key until it gets to 8 use spin button to change from 0 to 1 so you see 8---1 press white button until displays go blank close door and you should be good

   I push the white button and got 5 1 then I'd turn the jp and only got 8 2 I push the spin nothing happened with any button I can't change it

 I push the white button and got 5 1 then I'd turn the jp and only got 8 2 I push the spin nothing happened with any button I can't change it  I got a 5 1 In the winner paid box and a 0 in the credit box

No, either the machine is in credit mode (where there are credits on the meter and wins go to the credit meter), or cash mode where the machine doesn't hold credits (all bills and wins are paid out of the hopper).  It is not possible to have the machine accept bills to the credit meter but then pay out wins in coins from the hopper.

ok still   i like to get in credit only

?If I'm in the credit Mode even if I don't put a bill in.  And play 25¢ and win it only pays in credit if I win a jackpot I have to go To Las Vegas and get a attendant to pay me that doesn't work for me when I'm at home so when it's in credit no money comes out in standard mode only by money goes in and comes out.  You can't put $5.00 in and play win coins back ?

 Our so if I have a guest win a jackpot they Gotta come to me show me the credit on the machine and I have to figure that out open it pay them by hand that's only choices I thought in one mode you can choose without opening it on how you wanna be paid I thought it set some like that in the Manual

the machine has a credit limit (how many credits it will pile up)  once you get past that amount, the machine begins to pay off the hopper, EVEN if you are in credit mode, again, if say your credit limit is 1000 coins, and you have 995 credits, you pull handle and win 10 credits, since the 10 credits will push it over the credit limit, the machine will pay the 10 credits off the hopper.  If you hit a jackpot that will result in going over the credit limit, it will pay off the hopper or (if the pay is bigger than the hopper limit) it will go into handpay mode.  In either case you do not have to open the machine, the machine flashes the handpay amount in the credit and winner windows if the number is too large to display in just the win window.  You pay the credits shown and then you turn your jackpot reset key to return the machine to play mode.  You don't have to open the machine to clear a jackpot condition.  If you win over $1,200 you automatically go into handpay mode, this is due to tax regulations.

right now If you put a bill in.  It pays out in credit When it reaches 250 credit.  Then it pays out in coins.  How can I Reverse that have a payout in coins up to 250 then after that pays credit.

Now it shows 3200 error the knife is clear no coins or are stuck.  And of the brake and the motor looks like is working OK.

 :103- 3200 error I've verify the hopper motor is working correctly and the coins and the wiper\knife free and clear.  Optical Free and clear on the hopper and the door.  After I push the reset and close the door.  Turn the jackpot key I get 00.  If I open the door pushed reset it goes to 3200.  Also tried turning the power off for 5 minutes and same thing I also ran the set 15 chip and I still get the same thing.
