bally 5000 problem

[usnret]

I had approx 800 cridits on my machine and it was sitting on floor of my shop. I unpluged it and a friend helped me lift it up
to a cabinet. I then plugged it in and my friend by mistake hit the payout button and it started spitting out coins.
I only have about 100 coins so it stopped and then I replaced the coins in the hopper but nothing happened. It reads
an error code of 51 and 31.  I checked the hopper but nothing appears to be wrong, no coin jam that I can see.  I have
done all the reset procedures to no avail.  sometimes it reads code 51 and 45.  I think I have gotten myself in to a subject
I should have left alone..

Welcome to the site!

 

Is this a video slot or a reel slot?  I ask because you posted in the video section (we can move your post to the reel section if needed). 

Edited to add: it's a reel slot per a message sent by the original poster -- moving this post to the Bally Reel section.
