Had a 42 error code replaced reel # 2 fixed that. Than error 64-1 checked battery on MPU4 in top box was bad replaced battery but still have error 64-1. Checked all power supply voltages on top box power supply all good . Red power light is on inside the MPU4 board . Push the test button on the top box nothing happens. Some of the pinball top box lights are on . Checked wires from top box to bottom of machine all hooked up . reels will spin and setup bv will come on coin in light will stay flashing along with top light on candle. Bottom candle light will flash when door is open.  :99-  (SLOTS OF FUN)

Try closing the door and turn the reset key?

Bunker: Closed the door turned reset key .  with door open also. Comes back to 64-1.  :103-   could be a bad top box MPU4 board Thanks

Jeesh!...I don't even have "64-1" on my list of error codes....
Of course, my list of codes are for the S+... :25-
You need to find a Barcrest book/manual dude...
I also heard there were a couple of different manufacturers of that model...

64-1 is communication link down.  This code indicates that a progressive link is down, verify connections with the progressive equipment.    This is from the book.

Thanks,
Wayne

here is the bunch, someone can format them better if they wish.

In the case of this Barcrest, could that instead of being a communication problem with a progressive controller be a communication problem between the Barcrest top box game and the S+ motherboard/MPU?

Yes it could be . The 64-1 code usually is a bad battery in the top box . The battery was bad when replacing it the old battery had leaked on the board.The top box can be tested in a stand alone mode when i try to test in stand alone nothing happens only the red power light comes on the MPU4 board it indicates 5 volts on MPU board. Thanks found a board will try it when it comes in will let you know. Ron (SLOTS OF FUN)

Before you too far ahead... Take off the top glass and open the door with all of the bulbs on it. At the base of the top box; you will see 2 plastic screws that you loosen to slide out the whole MPU4 unit. Slide the unit out a few inches and slide back in sternly and then re-tighten the screws.  I get the 64-1 error sometimes when I move my machine.  Good luck.  Bill

My initial question would be... Was the machine working before the 64-1 code ?   I remember when I had a group of the IGT/Barcrests come in from a casino purchase several years ago... I had that code show up on 2 machines.  After trading out known, working MPU 4,  Checking batteries,  replacing Power Supply with known working ones... Still had the 64-1...  come to find out the communication cable/connection was gone on one (I didn't know anything about Barcrests)  and another was missing the small interlink board "inline"  on the comm cable.  Attaching pic of the connections into the mother board. Maybe this might help you or maybe others that come across this problem.

Chris: The comm cable to the mother board is hooked up the one you show and the in line board is there . The comm cable is going to the black comm box in the rear of the machine the green light is flashing so the S+ part is looking for the top box . The comm cable small blue plug in the top box  is hooked to the comm A port on the program module. The machine was working then the reel 42 error the owner let it sit for about 8 month never fixed it i got it from him about a week ago . Replaced the reel assy after that the error 64-1 checked all cables then pulled the top box removed the MPU4 assy checked the battery it was bad only 0.28 volts its a 2.4 volt 3 pin battery replaced the battery there was leakage on the board . check power supply in top box all voltage are good. The red light on the MPU4 board is on indicating 5 volts on board is good . Thanks  Ron (SLOTS OF FUN)

Machine is up and playing .  :3-  Replaced the MPU4 assy. in top box . The battery leakage on the board must have damaged it . :50- :50-   thanks to all.  :131-  :131-
