Help with b5033ci IGT reel game

[r5416]

I just picked up a IGT 3 reel slot machine double diamonds, Model Number b5033ci when i turn on the machine it lights, but nothing else, I was told a jackpot was hit then it stopped working??  coins do nothing but fall through, i tried the key on the side nothing, I see no error codes or anything on the machine, any help would be awesome.  Thanks!

I do want to add after reading posts in this forum, I see the infared light in the door sensor also the reels are stiff when machine is on and loose when its off??  Thanks for any help.

With machine on, open door and try to turn reels....are they stiff or free spin?

[r5416]

I added to this post, the reels are stiff when machine is on and loose when it is off, check all fuses in the back they are good, used cell phone to see infared light on, on the door sensor.

Is there a "zero" in the "Coins Played" window on the display?
or some other number?
With the door open and the power switch on, wiggle the left connector
under the back of the display panel on the reel glass (if this is a long display panel)
Some display panels are located on the right-hand side of the reel glass...locate the main connector plug
for that one and wiggle it watching the display panel from the front.

Check that didnt do anything, doesnt seem to be a short there? 

[r5416]

Here is the window I dont see any display at all

[coorslight115]

Well thanks for the pictures, now we know we are dealing with a S machine not an S-Plus. I will leave this to the S experts....not me

[stayouttadabunker]

No...it's an older S+ machine I think...all we need to see is the top of the MPU...
I work with a few of these puppies on the game floor -they are workhorses!!!
They last forever!

please recheck the 3 fuses on the power supply box.
The top and bottom fuses need to be 8 amp while the middle fuse needs to be an 6 AMP fuse.
If I'm wrong that's okay...it should say on the orange sticker in the back.
You power supply is like Emelie's...another member here with pretty much the same problem almost.
Also...Quick blow fuses...NOT the slo-blow fuses!

[coorslight115]

Hey Bunker ...You sure it needs to be an 8 amp and not an 8 amp   

[stayouttadabunker]

whoops...lol
does anybody remember off hand? cause I don't! 
I thought it was 8/6/8


or is it 6/8/6?  lolololol

[coorslight115]

8/6/8

I haven't seen an S in two years, so I CRS. Do we know that the S and an early pre-DBV S+ use the same fuses in the same order?

If not, shouldn't we get a picture of the MPU board first?

[stayouttadabunker]

Rich,
Can you snap a picture of the top of the MPU tray?
It's the big silvery box thing with the black knob on the side of it.
We want to see the wires coming out of it to determine exactly what machine you have.

[r5416]

Here ya go, and i think i am seeing 7.5 amp fuses?

[stayouttadabunker]

With the top of your knees, bang the coin tray upwards...it should come off,
then pull on the handle of you coin hopper..it should slide out.
Then take a picture of the back of the cabinet on top of the power supply transformer...
there should be a big orange sticker with the fuse voltages.
Check those three fuses...IGT NEVER used 7.5 AMP fuses!!!

The top one should be 8AMP 250V
The middle one should be 6AMP 250V
the bottom one should be 8AMPS 250V

Is the 7.5 AMP fuse in the middle hole?

[r5416]

ok i have a 6amp 8amp and a 7.5amp I have attached a couple photos

 

[stayouttadabunker]

Get rid of the 7.5AMP fuse and replace the middle one with a 6AMP quick blow fuse.
and put the 8AMP on the top and bottom.
I'm pretty sure your display is fried...
who knows what else because that's way too much amperage for the 6AMP location.

Did YOU ever see the display working?

[r5416]

Ive never seen it working...  just picked up the machine today.  What a bummer if its fried arrrgh....

It would only have been a problem if the circuits failed or were shorted and drew too many amps, in which case the larger amp fuse would not have provided sufficient protection. It they were/are operating properly, having a larger amp fuse wouldn't cause a problem.

[stayouttadabunker]

But...we have a problem...the display doesn't work.    (jk ya)

It can't be that bad. You reported that the reels are stiff and that you see the infrared light in the door sensor (was it blinking?).


With the power off, pull out the MPU board on the left. It should have a black knob on the outside of the tray. You'll need to pull it straight up.
Take a picture of the tray and post it, and while it's out, check the battery. It should be 3.6v.

[poppo]

Here is what I would do.

Are the fuses good? If so, just leave them alone for now. If something is shorted, it would blow the fuse even if it was an amp or so higher than what is called for. Now if it had a 20 amp fuse in there, that would be a different story.

I would then re-seat the MPU and all plugs. Every time I got no display at all, it was because the MPU was not seated all the way.

[r5416]

oK HERE ARE PICS, AND YEAH THE REELS ARE STIFF WHEN THE MACHINE IS ON, i SEE A LIGHT FROM THE SENSOR (caps sorry) when i use my camera not sure if its blinking or solid though cant tell with the akward way I have to place my camera but there is defanantly a light that goes off when I unplug the cable.

[poppo]

MPU looks ok. Standard 10Mhz S+. Might go ahead and re-seat the game and reel chips and try it again. Make sure the MPU is seated good.

[poppo]

oops.  Nothing to see here. I hit the wrong button.
