No error codes on IGT Slant Top Triple Diamonds (Got my board need help set-up)

[Tbone]

I have a IGT Triple Diamonds Slant Top Slot.
The coins played says 0 and it looks like it is ready to play. I drop the coin in and it goes threw the dispenser and drop to the coin hopper. No credits are added to the LCD above the coins played.
There are no error codes showing up. I pressed the white test button but nothing happens, I turn turn the JP key and still nothing.
I just got this slot and I want to pay it bad, I just don't know what I am doing wrong to get it to work.

Thanks for your help

Is the insert coins window blinking?

I don't see anything blinking.

I added pictures of my slot to my profile. It shows the inside and the out. (See the LCD screen, it shows 0 credits played and it shows no errors)

Thanks for helping me!

A door is open somewhere. Check the bottom door & switch. Open the play deck (main door) and re-close it. Make sure that it is fully closed. (it closes like a car trunk -- give it a good push). Then check and reseat the cash box and dbv. Make sure the cash can door is completely closed.

I think I found the problem, I am not sure how to fix it. It looks like to me, that someone was trying to bypass the door switch.

I am not sure what the red wire (Just looked red wire is not coming out the PSU)  and the pigtail wires are for on the PSU.

Also There are no locks on the Main door (I have to unlock it with a screwdriver) and there is no lock on the BV door.
The censor on the BV door works, When I close the door or push the censor down, I can hear the BV resetting. (All the doors do close all the way I just have to us my finger to push the bar up on the BV door for it to open and I use the screwdriver on the main door till I hear it click.

So how screwed am I? I am glad I only paid a $100.00 for this slot...Thanks guys!!
I wished one of you smart guys lived close to Dallas and could come help me out..lol!
The slot tech guy wants to charge me a $100.00 just to come look at it..That is crazy...Man I want to play it...I am so sick of playing my skill stop slot (Not fun to me)

The "main" door has optics which close a circuit that is necessary for normal machine operation.  I don't have a slant top, but look for two small black pieces with LEDS on them (one's an emitter the other one is a receiver) and make sure those two are wired up.  "Closing" the main door on a slot machine implies that these two optic sensors see each other.  You might not have them connected, or maybe not even have them?

This is what the emitter looks like.  They both look the same, and you can't the see light as in the picture (it's infrared).

[rickhunter]

This is the set of optics.  The one with the black and red wire is the emitter, the red/white is the receiver.

[stayouttadabunker]

I'd like to add that the Black/Red optic must go on the door 2-pin molex connector while...
 
the Red/White optic must be connected to the cabinet's  2-pin molex connector or they won't work.

Plus, ONLY the door emitter optic looks lit up when viewing it via a video camera.

[Tbone]

Yup, I see them. When the door latch is closed, it moves out of the way so they can see each other. I am not sure how to see if the  optics are still good or not. They seem fine, I took them out and cleaned them and put them back on. There where no cracks on the eyes or anything.

O I did the other test you guys told me to do too...I turned of the slot and the reels moved freely, when I turned it back on the reels where stiff.

Don't you just hate when you can't play your addiction (hobby) LOL!
Thanks for helping me!

Hi

Not so sure its a door optic issue if JP reset switch and test switch are not responding(Or do you mean that they are not resolving the issue?) Check your fuses and the plug where power goes onto your backplane.

I am not sure how to see if the  optics are still good or not.

If you look at your digital camera's viewfinder, you should be able to see the emitter blinking rapidly.  The only other way to test it is to use the input/output tests in the SP Game chip

FYI - not all digital camera's can do this.  I just had to do this myself on a machine and my Canon Digital Elph would not see it but my cell phone's camera could...

Then I guess you can only view the emitter optics with junky cameras....lol

The story of my life...I deal with junky, old stuff....

[Tbone]

My cell phone shows it blinking (I guess that is a good thing)
I checked the three fuses and they are all good.
I pulled the MPU board from the backplane and checked the backplane to make sure the it was plugged in. When it was pull off I hit the switch to ON and the part where it shows coins played on the LCD, did not have a reading. Once I put it back in and turned it back on it shows coins played 0.

The candel light on top of the slot is just blinking and blinking. Does that mean anything?
With the door open should the slot be make a beeping sound telling me there is an error? It does not make a sound with it open or closed.

Here are the pictures of my MPU board:

  sounds like you might have it fixed the candel will blink untill one game is played after closing main door. the insert coin lite might be out.  drop a coin in and see what happens. Buzz

It has always blinked. I did close the main door and dropped a coin in and it went threw the coin dispenser and dropped down into the hopper. No credits show up on the LCD (Just 0 coins played) I pressed bet one and spin..It did not do anything.

Right below the coin comparitor there is a small board  has a 1 inch long brown electrical plug going into it  at the very bottom of that plug there is a very very small white button. Press this button 2 or 3 times you should hear a ding noise each time button is pressed If the speaker works you will hear a ding!!  Now with the door still open press the spin button. The reels should spin.  Try this before we go through all the ifs.  Buzz

Ok I pressed the white button 3 time. I did not hear a ding and I pressed the spin button and it did not spin.

Oh and thank you for helping me!!

You may want to check the cash box door switch to see if it's showing the door closed.  Do you have a set and clear chip?

Thanks,
Wayne

[Buzz]

Ok question does the digital display work on the left side of machine?  with the door open turn jackpot key 2   3   4  times. a bunch of numbers should come up on left side display   if numbers do show up, just close door numbers will disappear.  If you didn't see any numbers I would say the left display has to be fixed first because there might have a error code showing and we can't see it. Buzz

I believe the door is closed, when I press or close the door to the DBV, I can hear the DBV resetting.
Now if you are talking about the door at the bottom of the slot machine, there are no wires connect to the lock.
I don't have any extra chips, only the ones that came on the machine.

Thanks
Troy

Wayne  I don't know the ans. to this, how dead does the MPU battery have to get before it stops giving a error code?  In reading this thread I don't think the battery has been checked yet!  but the wheels are stiff with power on.  I think I just shot down my own idea.  


Tbone      Is there a cash can installed below the BV ( bill validator )??? Buzz

[StatFreak]

TBone, you can post pictures that pertain to this issue directly in the thread (2 per post) instead of using your profile. Just a suggestion.
A 0 in the coins in with no "insert coin" or buttons lit is what happens when a door is open. The cash can door is usually the culprit.

The digital display on the right only shows "Coins Played = 0" The Winner Paid and Credits are blank, there are no numbers lit up.
With the door open I turned the JP key 4 times and no numbers showed up in the coins played, winner paid or the credits.

If there is any one in the Dallas Texas area that can come help me. Please HELP!! I will pay you or I can help you with something you need help with. Cut the grass, trim the trees, build the fence. LOL!

Thanks!!

Yup there is one. It is a gray box and when I take it out the bottom comes open and there are 3 spring looking things in there. (I guess that's what hold the cash) (Too bad it's not full of dollar bills..lol!!)
