replaced my battery and still a low battery reading

[morgansinpv]

so after i replaced my battery im still getting a low battery reading.
do i need to reset my machine

[cowboygames]

What version MPU are you running? 502, 504, 1270? And have you actually put a meter on the battery to check voltage?

[morgansinpv]

voltage is 3.5 and how do i determine what version i have,

where do i look

[cowboygames]

Serial number on the board itself, last 4 digits

[morgansinpv]

serial number on board is 9939214500 cq
model number is igt91895702
hope this is what you are asking

[cowboygames]

I don't recognize those numbers and I'm not at home to check. Does your coin battery solder in or slide in?

[morgansinpv]

solder

[cowboygames]

Probably a 502 or 504 then. What kind of shape is your green battery in? Any signs of leakage? You cleared the ram on the board when you changed the battery. Didn't clear the motherboard though. You could try a clear chip, but don't get your hopes up

[brichter]

There's 2 batteries on the S2k board, the green one that monitors door status, etc., while the machine is off, and the coin battery, which backs up all the memory stuff. You can do without the green battery, but not the coin battery. The coin battery is probably the dead one, what does it read with a voltmeter?

[cowboygames]

That's why I was asking which board he has, because you can't remove the green battery on 1270 enhanced boards

[brichter]

Which battery did he replace?

[cowboygames]

I don't know for positive, but I think it was the coin battery. One of my earlier questions asked him about it

if you replaced the coin battery, then check your solder joints.  You probably already open and closed the door twice to clear codes...

replaced the green battery

[cowboygames]

It's the coin battery that's low. The machine doesn't monitor or care about the green one

[brichter]

Replace the coin battery.  

I replace them with the sockets, so battery changes are easier. Radio Shack P/N 270-009, they usually have 2 or 3 in stock at my RS...  

[morgansinpv]

just did that and my closure m is gone.
now its telling me i have a bill validator error

[morgansinpv]

the game looks like its ready to play
but my validator wont take bills.
is there a place to turn on after battery was replaced

[cowboygames]

You may need to go into menu three and reset credit limits. Also check to make sure the cash can is seatd and latched properly.

[morgansinpv]

telling me its locked in coinless mode,
i  might have done this to it last night,
how do i undo or what do i do to get in this option

[cowboygames]

If you have any credits on the machine it won't let you change that. If there's no credits on the machine, try a clear chip and just set everything back up again with your keychip

[morgansinpv]

where do i find a options menu,
on what all the settings should be, i am sure i messed them up trying to fix my other issues
now all i need to do is get my bill vallidator working

[cowboygames]

Go into menu 3 under machine options and limits to see where they're set at and then check menu 7 and see if your bv is enabled or not. If your credit limit is very low then the BV won't accept any bill that will exceed the limit. Or if your bill limit is real low, same issue. Browse through the menus and submenus to get a feel for where things are at. It's a good education

[morgansinpv]

have done that, my limits are all high. bill, jackpot ,etc
where does my setting for ipc or wann where does that need to be, i think before i had problems it was on wann not its locked on ipc.

me trying to fix it i think i got some setting wrong.but all my errors are gone now. thanks to all to get me to this point.
now i need to get them back to right

Go into the options menu ----- option 4 I/O tests. Hit the spin reel button to enter this option. Use the cash out button to go to Auto netplex configure option. Hit spin reel (may have to hit spin reel 1-2 times). Bill valadator should grind up. When done hit the bet max/bet 2 credits/ or the bet three credits a number of times to exit options mode. Close door and if all went well your BV should work. Hope this helps.
