Hi,
I do not know how to reset the machine back to normal running mode?
I don’t know anything about the buttons and switches and setting.
It is a PACIFIC POKER MACHINE UNIVERSAL MODEL 8453
When I put money into the coin counter it will not click over until I push a play button?
Any wins will not be displayed in WIN METER window.
When I push the play button win’s will be added onto credit meter.
When the collect button is pushed, coins will not be released into the coin tray?
Opening the door there is no audible sound or code displayed in the WIN METER window?
I did take pictures but can only upload 2 here.
I am unsure to what the buttons are. I am really hoping someone can explain it to me.
Green Button just inside the door "Service SW"
Green Button "Cancel credits test SW"
Green Button "Reset SW"
Black Button on Money Hopper, Over Flow Control, By Conduction OR by Program. I am not sure which it is meant to be set on?
TWO YELLOW SWITCH and ONE COUNTER. COUNTER HAS 4 SETTINGS EACH ONE CAN BE SET TO 1 OR 9. IT IS SET TO 0004. YELLOW SWITCH DATE OR TIME NEXT SWITCH YELLOW TWO SETTING 1-7 OR ALL.
Thanks

p.s, I love looking at it.
Don't think I ever saw one of these?
How about those two pic's. Post them and maybe we can help.
Does it have one mpu board or are there more than one?
It almost sounds like it is in some sort of demo mode.
You could try to clear the RAM.
If it has one board look for a small toggle or push button right up near the front in the machine. If you find it then press or hold it in (about 3 secs) while turning on the machine. This will clear the RAM.
About the switches;
What I am posting is the switch functions on a North American machine. Yours may be an Aussie or overseas style.
SERVICE switch; usually a red switch and is used to add (fake) credits to machine for test purposes. Also used as an incrementer for test #7.
TEST switch; usually a green switch used to place the game in self-test mode. There are several tests that can be performed such as inport and outport tests. A manual is needed to identify each test.
RESET switch; usually a yellow switch used to reset an error that has been corrected or to exit a TEST mode.
On the hopper the black switch is always on CONTROL BY CONDUCTION. Never seen one yet set to PROGRAM. What this does is there is a probe in the hopper that detects a full hopper. When hopper is full it will activated the deflector on the coin-in mech. and send any coins put in the machine down through the chute in the bottom of the machine to a holding bin in the slot stand. Prevents the hopper from overflowing it's contents. If in PROGRAM mode the machine must have a program on it's processor board that counts how many coins are in the hopper at any given time so it would know when to deflect to the lower bin.
I had an 8304 Uni poker game that had a similar (but not the same) problem as yours and I found it was the door switch not seeing the door closed.
