That doesn't appear to be a battery problem because the video portion looks to start ok. For whatever reason the lower part of the game isn't talking to the upper part so it would be natural to suspect an issue with the cable that ties the two together or it's related componants. Unfortunately, your game is rare enough that the knowledge to diagnose this issue may be a learning experience for all involved:( What's in the area above the video screen? Is it just a backlit cabinet in the round part or is that part of the bonus game also? If there are circuit boards and whatnot in there a pic of it would be nice

On Reply#9, you said you "got the top part of the screen working".
At that point the COMM Error came up...as well as the [64-0] message.
What did you do to get the "screen working"
You never explained that.

Have you fully inspected the connecting communication harness yet?

I must add that the MPU board for you top-box computer is nothing what I thought it might be.
I may not be able to help you any further at this point.
I have never seen the inside of that machine before.

Does the video display indicate any kind of communication error or just the lower game display? What's behind the cover panel above the video display?

Yes, it does. Look at the left side of the picture of the screen he previously posted - it says "comm error" in red text.

AD KING: if you got it to work momentarily by jiggling the harnesses, that's where you need to focus your attention. You have a loose or shorting connection somewhere in the wiring between the topbox and the motherboard of the slot machine.

Well, I don't know what else to do... I went through every connection and cleaned them and made sure they weren't damaged. Everything looks fine and seems to be in there right spots...
I'm really stumped on this...

You have one of the most obscure S+'s I've ever seen.
What shocked me the most is that the boards behind the top-box display are nothing that I thought you would have up there.
I was dearly hoping it was the guts of an early version of the Vision bonus display but as it turns out - it's much older
and relatively unknown.

I wish I could help you further but I have an idea.

If you're not too shy, you're welcome to fill out your profile a little better.
Especially the "Pinpoint Location" thing.
This way, it will be possible that a nearby NLG member that knows something about your machine could try
and get in contact with you via the PM messaging we have here.
Maybe they can see if they can come over and look at your machine
and give you a hand in getting it up and running the way that you want it to?

It's always better to have someone with some experience with your machine to be in it trouble-shooting....


I do have a question though.
I was watching your video ( by the way...I thank you for it but I wish you didn't turn the camera sideways )
I noticed that the error [64-0] seemed to pop up on the main cabinet reel glass only when you closed the top down...am I right or it displays that error on the display while the door is still open?
Could it be that the intermittent trouble is coming from the door switch or related door harnesses?
Would you see if the door harness is getting "pinched" or something?

Sounds like the data from the top-box computer is "searching" for the lower machine -
lack of communication between the two, as been stated over and over.

I think one of my 1st replies was that it could be a couple of things.
One was the communication cabling.
Two was the chips.
If there's any wrong chip installed somewhere either in the bonus top-box MPU or bottom MPU -
you should get some sort of a NO COMM message.

However, with that said, it appears that you have the right chips
and you've carefully checked every pin for continuity on the com cable with a multimeter right?  Scratch Head 3
or did you just take a visual look at it?

Hello everyone!

I am having a problem with a barcrest IGT game of mine. I have posted on here before. I want to fix this game so I can Play it! Every time I turn the machine on I am getting an error code 64 0.

Plus the screen says COMM error.
Can anyone please help me with any ideas of what it may be?

Thank you.

What screen says "Comm Error"? Typical S+ machines (including my S+ Barcrest) do not have any screens that can say words.

Can you post a picture of your machine?

Aah, that's not a Barcrest game at all, that's an IGT S+ slant top with an Anchor Gaming top box.

There's not a ton of info on those games here, and I've never worked on one.  If you do a search for "Cascade of Diamonds" using the search button at the top of the page, you'll find a few posts about those machines.

I seem to remember another member with a similar issue with the game you have. I don't know if he ever resolved it, though. For starters, I'd thoroughly check the wiring that links the computer in the Anchor Gaming top box with the S+ motherboard in the bottom of the slant top cabinet to make sure everything's connected well.

There should be a small interface board that communicates between the topbox and the lower MPU's motherboard.
This interface board should have two LED's on it (red and green) They should be blinking at various rates of speed as you open the door and look at them. They should BOTH be blinking signifying that there are communications signals going through.
If not, then I'd be suspecting first, a possible bad battery in the top box MPU or just a bad/oxidized harness connection up there.

Aah, okay. I'm going to merge this thread with your original thread then since it's the same issue and the same machine.
