Bally S6000 Can't Clear Code 31 And 55

[gtstang]

Hi, I am new to this hobby.  I just acquired 3 Bally S6000 machines.  I have a Wild Rose 3 coin machine that I am not able to clear code 31 (hopper jam) and code 55 (bill stacker).  Sometimes it will give the code 5529 as well.  I have checked the wiring and it is good.  I swapped out the hopper thinking it was the problem and that did not help.  I swapped out the stacker and bill validator and that did not help as well.  Any other things I should check?  I also have a Bonus Frenzy 3 coin that had a dead battery and I did replace it, but now I am getting error 83F.  Do I need to acquire eproms to clear the corrupt data?  Thanks in advance for any help.

I HAVE RUN INTO THE SAME PROBLEMS. TRY DOING A RAM CLEAR ON BOTH MACHINES. THEY MADE 2 DIFFERENT SETS OF RAM CLEAR CHIPS FOR THE PRO 6000. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE NEWEST SET. I THINK THIS WILL SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS.

Welcome to the site.You should fill out your profile so that people know more about you.  You may be just down the street from another member...

code 55- Check the wiring going to the switch that the cash can pushes, there may be a wire off. also make sure the cash can door is closed. 

code 31- check the hopper plug wiring also.  As previously mentioned, doing a complete saferam clear is usually a good idea, especially on machines that weren't shopped out.

P.S. A LOT of the time, the cashcan is totally missing! You can fool it into running by placing a small piece of metal over it and holding it in with tape.This is for test only,but it will allow it to boot up

Here is a picture of the Cashcan and the error you get if (like Mopar says) the can is not all the way in/door open....
This is also a Pro-6000 Bonus Frenzy 4 reel/25X multiplier.

Thanks for everyones info.  I have checked with my fluke and the wiring and switches are all testing fine,  I must have something corrupt data,  is there a way t clear the chips without needing to purchase a set.   The picture on kirk in Lasvegas as right on,  Any trouble shooting guides out thee that can point a new be in the right diction.  Thanks for the help.,  Dave

If you have a bally 6000 you should have clear chips U 28 and U 43

Did you manage to clear this?  Please let us know.

Thanks,

Have not fixed it yet.  I just ordered the saferam chip set.  I will let you know after I try the chips.  Thanks

Remember to shut machine off when you remove hopper as not to get a error 31

I just received my clear chip set yesterday thanks to a helpful member.  I put them in the Wild Rose machine and it took care of the 31 and 55 codes and works just fine.  The other machine Bonus Frenzy is a different story.  It had a dead battery, so I replaced it and got the 83F error code.  I figured no big deal because it just needed a saferam clear.  I installed the clear chip set in this machine and now it gives me a 55 code and 23 code.  I have checked the wiring to the BV and stacker and all the switches test good on my ohm meter.  Double checked the stacker door to ensure it was closed and the stacker door switch was working right.  The other code 23, I have checked the coin optics for any obstructions and found none.  I tested the diverter solenoid and it tests good and has no restrictions or linkage problems.  I installed the coin optics and compartitor in another machine and they worked just fine.  I even re-cleared the mpu again with the same results.  When I first turn on the slot it does the normal start up with the reels returning to home and then you can hear the coin diverter clicking on and off several times and then both codes show up on the machine.  Anything else I should look at?  Thanks again for everyones help.

Try when you install cash box to push it in a little hard also when you turn on machine do you here the validator roll and set. If you do and code comes back do another ram clear.

[gtstang]

The BV does run when you first turn on the machine.  I even swaped the cash can and head on the other machine to see if the problem carried.  I will try another ram clear tonight.  Thanks

On the 23 code I had that problem some time ago make sure on the front panel of mpu board
coin mech switch is in the up position and check dsw2 switch 8 is set to off but I believe you need to do another ram clear for that I finally cleared the 23 on my S6000 as you said everything else checks out coin optics ect

Stormrider, You were right.  When I looked at the dip switch settings, they were set wrong.  Now the hard part is finding out what the dip switches should be set at for my game bonus frenzy.  The DS1 is set as 1-off, 2-8 are on.  DS2 is set as 1-off, 2-off, 3-on, 4-off, 5 was off and 6 was on (I changed these to the JCM WBA Setting of 5-on, 6-off), 7-off, 8 was off but I changed it to on.  DS3 is set as 1-on, 2-on, 3-on, 4-on, 5-on, 6-on, 7-on, 8-on.  I am not sure about DS1-SW3 bonusing, Secondary device protocol SW4, SW5, and SW6.  On DS2 I believe these are correctly set except for SW7 which is the reel spin.  Anyone know what they should be set at.  Thanks again for the help.  Dave

[Slottex]

TRY DS1 ALL BUT 7 ON - DS2 1,2 OFF 3 ON 4 OFF 5 ON 6 0FF 78 ON - DS3 ALL ON. THIS IS FOR $.25 DENOMINATION. YOU MUST RAM CLEAR AFTER CHANGING SETTINGS.

HOPE THIS HELPS

Ok so did the 23 error clear then ?

[gtstang]

Yes, It did.  When I changed the setting for the diverter option 23 went away.  I still had the 55 error code until I changed the BV setting to the correct WBA.  Then recleared the machine and no more codes.  I am not sure if this game needs the DS1-SW3 to be turned on for bonus or turned of for no bonus?  I am assuming that the secondary device protocol options are not available on my machine.  The denomination is correct for .25c.  The market code is set correct.  I know the BV is set up right now.  And after reading some old post from a69mopar about the DS2-SW7 option for regular reel spin or crazy wheel spin I know this can be set either way depending on my taste.  Stormrider, Thanks for the tip.  I would have never even thought about checking the dip switch setting because I figured no one would touch them.  Thanks, Dave
