IGT S2000 Triple Double Diamond

[jacker]

OK thanks Rich.   Guess I can re-key and eliminate the printer??  Should be able to use BV and hopper.
1.  BV initializes but that's it. Bezel does not light up.
2.  Hopper has not initialized at all. can not get it to even test....
Lights off everything on the players panel...Spin, Max Bet. cash out, service, 5 buttons 1 - 9 lines and 1-20 bets.

[qbert]

If the lights worked when you were keying and clearing not an issue.
After boot with door shut what message are you currently getting?
Did you ever set the limits under options section 3.?
No key or clear needed to do this, just no credits on the machine.

[jacker]

After boot =Paper out.. call attendant. I did set limits in option 3..hopper $5000, Jackpot $5000, BV $3000, hand pay enabled, player cash out enabled.. Only thing is the 3.1.8.1 W-2G Controller don't know what to do with it

[qbert]

So I'm assuming the machine is trying to pay out some credits
With the door open try turning the jackpot key on the side of the machine.
If this works close the door and see if it comes up.

[qbert]

Should not have to do anything with W-2G

[jacker]

I did. Several times.  Comes up with 5 credits and 5 winner paid. stays there.  Error is "hopper empty"  but I have $75.00  in quarters in it.

[qbert]

OK time to work on the hopper issue.
Back on page three Cowboy asked you a few questions regarding the hopper.
Also some tests that you can do in section 4.
The only thing I can add at this point are in addition to the wires Cowboy asked you to check  are the wires going to the hopper drive motor attached to the motor ? I've seen these wires come loose before.

Also do not worry about the BV just yet as it is the last thing that will come active when everything else is working.

[jacker]

All wires seem to be bundled and in their right place. Wires were off when I received hopper. They are now attached have been for days. Can not see a color code to determine if they are right! It will just run backwards if wrong.
Section 4 Skips from 4.6 to 4.9....not showing the hopper or BV test options.
Rich I can not get the credits to clear. Is there way to clear without the clear chip?

[jacker]

The tiny motor was at an angle. Probably shipped to me that way. It should be straight and I should be able to turn it with the knurled shaft, right?

[qbert]

Turn the machine off. Remove the hopper. Send a picture or two if you can.

It does not stick straight out per say.
You should be able to turn the motor by hand.
While you have it out dump the coins and look for some foreign
objects in the hopper that may be jamming things up.

[jacker]

Motor is locked up tight! The pinwheel will rock back and forth and I see the shaft going into the gearbox move but not the motor is stuck. Take it apart???

[qbert]

Got to get to my machine to compare something does not look correct.
Can you see anything in the bottom of the hopper tray that looks like it might be jammed?
I'm at work so it may be a few hours before I get back to you.
I think the motor should stick out straighter as you stated

[jacker]

Nothing stuck in the pin wheel. can move it back and forth 1/4" BUT it does not move at the gearbox.
The motor was at a more severe angle. I did straighten to very slowly to the position its now in.
Couple of hours is no problem. Thanks so much for all you do!!!!

[jacker]

Here's where I am at. Motor shaft on the knurled end was bent + the screws that holds the motor to the gearbox were pulled and stripped. Must of been hit hard. Motors off shaft straight so sometime this evening I will put back together and see what happens

[jacker]

Hopper...GOT IT GOT IT GOT IT. Works just fine.
Man we are getting closer
Now what the BV ?

[qbert]

Not looking good for the hopper, you should be able to turn the motor shaft very easily. Looks like it is bent. If your up to it you will need to get the gearbox apart to see how bent the motor shaft is. Not sure how successful you will be getting it straight.
You may have to set the unit up for coinless operation if you can't get the hopper fixed or replaced.
In that case every time you would want a payout it would be a "hand pay" and require the jackpot key turn.

If you want to be able to play the game now, setting it up for coinless would be the way to go. But we would still have to get the BV working (not my area of expertise)
And since every part on this machine we go to seems to have an issue you may want to get the hopper working before the BV.

Normally all the changes below can be done with a key chip and zero credits. I'm not sure how you can zero the credits the way the machine is now.

To go coinless:
7 series Key Chip Config II
7.2.2.1 Printer enable /disable  set to disable use the max bet button to save.
7.2.5 Coinless Mode set to enable , save with max bet

Machine options 3 Series
3.1.5.1 partial pay amount set to 0

I say try to fix the hopper first by carefully straightening the motor shaft when you get into the gearbox it should turn without drag.
Need help from others on getting you to zero credits if you want to go coinless without having to use the clear chip from this point
Report back

OK let me see if I got this correct.
You got the hopper working and you are able to play the game with coins and cash out from the hopper?
I assume the player lights are working now.
The BV still is flashing blue/red even after a few min.?

 

[jacker]

Can play and cash thru the hopper.
NO player lights are not working.
BV blue light blinks....red light is steady...the bezel should turn yellow but it is not. When machine is powered up, the BV initializes but that's it.

[qbert]

What player lights are you talking about?
The ones on the panel like the play max coins button etc.
If it is the panel lights did they work when you were in the screens when you were making game changes?
Is it all of them or just some?
You can go to 4.2.1 I/O test std and test the button lights
I can't help with the BV another member will have to help you with that.
I'm glad you can at least play it in the mean time

On the BV, may I suggest you start a new topic/post on what its doing and not doing, some details about it, and preferably the model (WBA-12, WBA-13?) and software version. Software version is typically on a sticker on the top of the unit somewhere, or on the underside on the EPROM (if it has one, some models don't).

This is a long thread and it gets too confusing to keep up, so starting a new topic with the CURRENT problem would be best for everyone. 

[cowboygames]

And may I add, remove the BV transport from the machine and post picks of the top front and bottom so we can see it. Clear pics so we can read any tags on it. After what you've been through with other parts of the machine it wouldn't be a surprise at all if you had the wrong software on the BV to use it

[jacker]

Yea guys This has been a problem for me. You guys have brought me a long way, but there are still lots of problems like possible short in wiring harness, ( 1 lite will lite occasionally) speakers, now coin-in jam, again. just to many to list. I am listing it on EBAY for sale. Whoever buys it will probably get it running and have a super good machine. The little I did play it, it was fun.
Thanks You very much for all your efforts even though I did end up without a machine, I am going to contribute to this site. Thanks again
Jack

[cowboygames]

Jack, before you give up, turn the machine off and check to make sure the IO card on the door is seated correctly

[jacker]

Yes it is. no difference. now the "Play 10" button light is on. No other lights are  on. see pict.

[jacker]

I installed a new wire harness, now all the lights work. Installed both I/O boards. Before I did this, accidently shorted wire to the frame. Wires were loose in the door panel ..heard a POP....Now the machine will initialize,  however the buttons will not work. I can not get to the configure 7 menu and getting a coin-jam. Any ideas.
