I'm trying to install a Triple Cherry Kit and when I insert the Reel Chip, I keep getting a 62-1 error code that I can't reset. Nothing I do works!! Please Help!! Shawn

I think the reel eprom is bad. No matter what I do, 62-1 keeps showing up. I installed my other reel eprom and it works fine.

Yeah, 62-1 is a bad reel chip.  You need to get it replaced.

Thanks!!

The "62-1" is probably our most dreaded code.... :8-
The chip is very durable but can get corrupted quite number of different ways.
When removing or inserting the MPU from/into the motherboard,
you must make sure the power supply is turned off.
Also, when you're not using the chips for some time, they must be stored in electrostatic-free boxes.
The metal legs of the chip must never touch anything that may contain an electrical charge at all.
I recommend the static-free chip boxes made by 3M.
They are found at places such as Mouser or Newark online stores.
The picture is incorrect in this link I posted below...but the sizes of the little boxes are correct.
I think you can get 25 cases for .42 cents apiece.>>>

What happens if: I install the SP1271 chip and it's bad too? Can I put back in the SP731 chip I had in it before? Just wondering because both chips came from the same source and there both old.

A bad chip will not kill another chip.  You can go back and forth and it won't change the condition of either chip (unless you plug them in backwards).

Thanks rickhunter for the info! Also, stayouttadabunker, those boxes are cool! I think I will buy a few for these eproms. You don't realize it, but after a few kits, these eproms start to pile up! Thanks again to you both for the tips! Now, I just need to get my set and clear eproms and a new SS eprom and upgrade my 731 to a 1271.

Yes, and after several kits and the slot multiplier effect (they are hermaphrodites, one day you have one in your gameroom, then you wake up and there are more than what you originally thought you had).  :72- :72- :72- :72-

Then you end up with something like this:

436 chips, although I probably mis-counted. You know, there's still room for a few more in some of those tubes Rick. You're slacking off!  :125- :127-  :97- :97- :97- :97-

I know, when my slots decide to start their mitosis, then I'll have more. I just hope they mutate into an S2000 and WMS Dotmation.  :5- :5- :5- :5-

OMG!! I have twelve eproms and started to feel like it was getting cluttered! Unbelievable rickhunter!! Unbelievable!!  :131- :131-

You wouldn't happen to have a SS7825 (Triple Cherry) in that bunch, would you?? :131-

"YO-Duh, Ese-Plus Rick has gone over to the dark side!"
"Hmm, let Clay hear that, you will not, I think, Padawan. Increase his hold over Rick, it will."
...
"Ese-Plus Rick, you don't know the POWER of the dark side! Join ME and together we will rule the universe as 'Wllams & Sons' LLC !!"
"EyeJeeTea lied to me! Everything they said about supporting my machines was a LIE!! I can't even buy original kit glass anymore! I don't want my machines to die!"
"Join ME and I will teach you the ways of the Dark Side! You will be able to save your machines!!"

"Ese-Plus Rick, much anger I feel in you. Join him, you must not!!"
"YO-Duh, I have no choice! I have to save my machines!"
"Twisting your mind, he is, Ese-Plus. Away from Wllams, you must turn. Once you start down the DOT Path, forever will it rule your destiny, conSUME you, it will !"
"It's too late! Clay & Wllams aren't the evil ones here, YOU are, YO-Duh!! You're just a puppet for EyeJeeTea ! -- and besides, I don't like Texas tea, I like Café Mula!"

"Younglings, forever lost, I fear, is Ese-Plus Rick."  :58-  :60-  :8- :8- :8-

Alas, no.  My Triple Cherry is  an  SS7828.
