S+ bill validator won't cycle on

[poppo]

IGT utility program SET005, SET015 or SET017 is required to modify the denomination and enable/disable the bill acceptor..

Modifications   Requires the denomination set–chip, unless the bill acceptor and SAS EFT option is disabled, in which case the denomination is set in the self test mode.  When the denomination is set to zero (none), the bill acceptor is disabled (if present), the game will not display progressive amounts and all progressive wins will cause the game to go to a hand–pay lockup condition.  Can be set at $.05, $.10, $.25, $.50, $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $25, $50, $100 or zero (none).  If the SAS EFT option is selected (using the set–chip), the denomination can also be set at $500 or $1,000.

Ok, so that is pretty standard. The question remains why he can't change the denomination with the set chip unless he is not actually enabling the BV.

OK, I will try those 2 suggestions tonight and report back.  However, I am confused.  I have 2 different sets of instructions and they both say that I am setting the coin denomination of machine when I press the spin button after I turn the bill validator on (when 9-1 appears in winner paid window), from 0 - 5 is nickel, 10 is dime, 25 is quarter, and 100 is dollar, there isn't an option higher than 100.  There is nothing about setting the denominations for the bill validator.  Is it possible that that the set 15 does not set the denomination for the bill validator?        

No, as noted above, if the BV is dissabled you set the denomination in self test mode. If the BV is enabled, you use the set chip.

This is what is confusiong me.
"they both say that I am setting the coin denomination of machine when I press the spin button after I turn the bill validator on (when 9-1 appears in winner paid window), from 0 - 5 is nickel, 10 is dime, 25 is quarter, and 100 is dollar, there isn't an option higher than 100."

First where are you seeing this (the highlighted)? In the self test or the with the set chip? If you are doing it in self test, then the BV is not enabled.

After you change the 9_0 to 9_1 with the set chip, exactly what are you doing next. Pressing the spin button at that point 'should' only toggle the BV on and off. You should have to press the self test button again to get the denomination settings. That is why I asked what displays on each press of the self test button with the set chip in. Are you actually getting to a point where you can toggle those denomination settings? If so, be sure to press the self test button after you are done to 'save' the setting. If you have just been changing the 9_0 to 9_1 and exiting, it may not be saving the setting because you didn't set a denomination.

What can I say? You're both right.     I guess that cup is going to get quite disgusting by the time he gets back...    

No wet, yellow-tinted pills for me, thanks. I'm trying to quit.
