IGT S+ Slant Top Needs Some Fix'n

[poppo]

Also, how many times does the BV cycle, and does it make any strange noise at the end? This is important becasue we just spent a lot of time troubleshoting someone else's unit that ended up having bad cash can optics. That caused it to cycle 3 times and then make a 'chunk, chunk, chunk' sound. (I don't have a video of that yet). Video added

This video is what the normal cycle sounds like

This video is what it sounds like if the cash can is not being detected (possibly because the transport is not seated properly).

Here is a video with the cash can optics not working. Linsten closely to the clunking sound after the initial cycle. You may need to turn up the volume to hear it.

If the unit is cycling a lot like in the second video, pull the cash can out and take a look and see if the transport tabs are down like in the picture and the gear is also down. Many times people don't have the rear of transport seated properly and it does not engage the cash can properly. Also inspect for broken teeth on the gears.

Poppo,  for taking the time to make those videos.

Rest easy guys, I followed your instruction and check teeth, and the seating of the transport and cashbox. I also verified that I enabled the BVcorrectly by doing it again. I cleared the 61 code and BAM! The insert bill lit up and now it eats one dollar bills and gives me credit for them. Actually it spits out quarters but if I hit the cash/credit button, it turns them into credits.

I guess you guys did it again. I wish I knew where the error lied. If I had to guess, it would be that the first 3 times I used the set chip it didn't take.

Thank you very much for your trouble and your willingness to walk me through this.

You can change the default behavior in the self test mode so bills always go to credits. I believe you said you have a SP731. With no credits on the machine, change this to a 1

Bill Acceptor Pay Mode <0> [8]
This option can be set so that bills are always converted to credits on the machine (1), or to follow the player selected credit (0). If set to follow the player selected credit, bills will be converted to credits if the player has selected the credit mode, or paid from the hopper if the player has selected the noncredit mode

I'll hit you up with that tomorrow. I want to enjoy this little success tonight. I'm ready for a well deserved beer. I'll have a few for you guys too. You earned it.
