sigma sg150 plus

[original68]

hello all who read this.  I need som tech support on my machine it is a sigma sg 150 plus treasure wheel slot.   when I power on it up most lights come on except the spin wheel, change and bet 1 buttons or not lit.  
#2  the coin compartor rejects all coins. tried to adjust via adjustment screw no help.  the light on the coin comparitor is lit green and flashes when a coin passes however sends it to the return tray/payout tray.  i do have a sample quarter in the coin comparator .when I manually tape the coin comparator rejector in the energized/ open position the coin will pass into the machine/hopper however not give a credit to play.  I can not even get it to credit a play manually by sending a coin past the coin acceptor.  
#3  dont know if there should be but there are no lights working on the front digital pay out screen or the credits screen and there are no error message on the larger screen.  any help would be appreciated. I have tried to reset and nothing.  I will attach pictures shortly


Bunker do the pics look ok

The pictures are very good ... thanks.
I don't see anything lit up on your display panel though. 
Take a look at this short video clip I made for you a few minutes ago. 
What I want you to see is what comes up on the display panel when powering up your machine.
Also, the different little test modes it does as it's getting ready.

If you're not getting anything to come up on the display at all, I'd really start pulling and re-inserting
any plugs that connect to the display panel from behind the door - with the POWER OFF!!
Wiggle the connectors, turn on the power switch and watch the display to see if anything lights up at all on it.

It could very well be just a loose connection.
Apparently your coin mech appears okay (the green light is on)
As far as adjusting it, turn the coin sensitivity dial fully counter-clock-wise then turn it a 1/4 turn clock-wise and leave it at that.
Take the tape off of the coin mech rake!!!   
If the coin mech isn't working - we WANT to see it drop coins into the coin tray - not the hopper!!!
Another thing, the problem may lie with the coin optical sensor below.
We'll get into that later.
It's the black thing attached to the coin chute...>>>

[Mr. Dinoman]

Was the machine ever working or is this a new machine for you and you are trying to get it to work?

i bought it from  someone and they said they played it for a while and than it stopped accepting coins

[Mr. Dinoman]

I hear that all the time and rarely true (not talking about you, just the sellers)...Did you get the display working and anything on it to show up?...Can you email a photo of the MPU board and have you ever worked on a Sigma?...
Jimmy

[original68]

i will e-mail pics and i have never worked on one before however i have an electrical background if it helps

Very good pictures...thanks!   

I don't know if this will help but the #8 dipswitch is in the "ON" position on my machine?
I photo-shopped your picture to show you which one you have in the turned off position...>>>

[original68]

what does the #8 dip switch control  

[Mr. Dinoman]

SW2 post Eight: SIB 2 board option
ON=SIB 2 board installed
OFF= SIB 2 board not installed

The board should be located on the power module that has the on/off switch and test switch...Maybe photo of that to would be nice...
Jimmy

[Mr. Dinoman]

Also, do you have a bill acceptor installed and hooked up...SW1 post Ten on=enabled off=disabled
Do you have the hard meters hooked up?...SW2 post 10 on=Hard meter check   Off= disabled
Jimmy

[original68]

i will send a pic of the on/off test area.  there is a bill collector and when powered up it does make a noise/for 1/2 seconds.  there is not a bill tray to collect the bills once they pass through the bill acceptor.  the bill acceptor will not accept bills at this time.  Mr dino man can you tell me if i should have the hard meter on or disabled and what the difference is.
#2 same for #8 what does it control.   thanks again for all your help one way or another I know we can bring this Frankenstein back from the dead

[Mr. Dinoman]

If you do not have the cash can installed turn off SW1-10 with power off and reboot...Do you have meters that count the coin in/out etc?....Make sure they are hooked up...If you do not have the meters, turn of SW2-10 again with power off and reboot...
Jimmy

[original68]

I have the coin meters on the right side of the cabinet i will try it with the #10 switch in the on position with power off and reboot to see if that make any difference. keep the ideas coming I will be trying the above corrections at 700 pm wish me luck

[Mr. Dinoman]

You want SW1-10 in the OFF position so it does not see the BV....

sorry for the delays I will be back working on it tomorrow
