IGT S2000 Bill Valadator

After 4 months I have my Triple Double Diamond 9 line play 180 credits...running on quarters. Can not get the BV to work. When powering up, I hear it initializing, but it goes no further. It is JCM...WBA-12/13-03-113...In another place it shows only WB-12-SS.. Other markings on it: USA-5B1-03-113 and ID 024 and V 3.75-34 (CD3B)
Here is a couple of pictures, maybe some can give me some help on this BV? Thanks You

looks like the right BV and firmware for your machine.  on the other side there's a bank of dip switches; make sure they're all up.  do you have credits on the machine?  are you at your credit limit?  can you still use the coins to play the machine even though the BV doesn't work?

[jacker]

All switches are up. No credits on machine (shows last coin played)  Not even close to credit limit. Machine plays perfect using quarters. Hopper pays out everything else works great. There is no lights in the benzel area. Think this could part of the problem?

[Tech73]

Look on the right side and see if you have two lights lit on the BV. Do you have another game you can put this BV in to see if it follows the BV there?

[jacker]

Yes two RED lights are lit.  I only have a S Plus machine .. Don't look like they would be interchangeable, but I will try Monday. Thanks

[Tech73]

No, the S+ and the S2000 BV's are not compatible.

[CVslots]

No, the S+ and the S2000 BV's are not compatible.

I may have to disagree....doesnt S+ acceptID022 or ID023? And S2000 accepts ID023 and IDO24? If a WBA is programmed for IDO23, then it would be interchangeable between S+ or S2000. If its ID024 ONLY, then NO, it is not interchangeable between models (only S2000).

NOTE: WE are talking ONLY WBAs. If its a DBV, then all bets are off of course.

Do a netplex auto config and see if it picks up the BV

[lindam1]

Also, it's not always the BV, if you can try another cash box, make sure that all the right plugs are in behind the BV assy. make sure the BV door switch is working

[Tech73]

My bad guy's, you all know more about the programing than I do.

I clean them and fix them but never have had to flash one or get into the programing of one.

[cowboygames]

Have you checked your BV $ limit setting in menu 3 and is your BV showing enabled in menu 7?

[jacker]

Limit is set at $3000 and shows enabled in menu 7....Can a netplexauto config be done in the 4 menu? Or do I need to re key it? Thanks

[lindam1]

You can re-search in 4 as long as no credits on machine.

[jacker]

ok I have done that. No credits on machine, found the "netplex auto config."  saved it (max bet) still not working ??

[cowboygames]

Does the BV faceplate on the door ever light up? Will it take a bill in at all even if it just kicks it back out?

[CVslots]

Was the BV "Enabled" in the menu!???? If it will not Enable, (or if it is enabled), then we may have bigger fish to fry,,,just sayin,,,

[cowboygames]

He said it's enabled in the key chip menu and did a forced autoconfig from menu 4

[jacker]

Tell me to be sure about a forced autoconfig.  How to.
The thing is it does initialize when powering up. Sounds like both motors run

[kforeman]

ok I have done that. No credits on machine, found the "netplex auto config."  saved it (max bet) still not working ??

go to "netplex auto config"

use change button to scroll to "bill validator"

hit spin button

vfd will change message, bv will cycle i'm pretty sure

hit max bet several times to exit or close main door

wait 10-15 seconds for bv to initialize

[kforeman]

also could be your cbox not fully installed.  open cashbox door and push in cashbox fully.  push up on brass lever high to right side of cbox, that locks in the small tabs on the side of the cbox.  pull your cbox all the way out and make sure your tabs are solid; there should be no play in them.
pull your bv out and shine a flashlight on the back of its shelf.  there are two small, black colored tabs that stick up side by side; you'll be looking at their edge from straight on.  they should both be pointing pretty straight up and be level with each other when the cbox is fully engaged. 

[jacker]

Tried netplex auto config.....nothing happens. BV is enabled and the credits are set to max of 3000
Cash box...Tabs are almost in the center of the box They do flip up...When The box is reinserted, the BV does recycle.
In one of the picts below it shows the tabs to be OFF center Which could mean one of them so falling into the slot in the middle of the cash box.

[jacker]

OOPS...Here is the picts of the Cash Can housing where the tabs are off center and the Cash box it self showing the center slot or cut out where one of the tabs may be.
Let me know THANK YOU

[jacker]

Cowboygames to answer your question, the lights do not light on the door. Will not attempt to take bills. You know way back when I had the old wiring harness on and before I shorted the system, the lights on the door did work!  However the BV did the same as it is doing now. Wonder if I need to send it some where to get fixed and up dated?

[lindam1]

Jacker,

Where are you? You might be close to someone who's in the know.
