Sometimes when your clear and set chip doesn't work you have to get a Test123 chip which I keep in stock.

[BeanMan]

I have determined that the chips I have are
SP1048
SS4781

What do I do from here?  Do I need to find these same chips or a set and clear or what?

[stayouttadabunker]

get a hold of fanninislots..the guy who posted just above ya!

[BeanMan]

I got the chips today! Thanks Fannini slots!

Now I need a little more help...

What do I do know that I have the Test123 chip and Set 15 chip?

Thanks guys!

[fanninislots]

Beanman,

Remove your game chip and insert your Test123 kept in mind the notch has to be pointing the same way as all the chips on the board. put the board back in the machine and turn on the power. Then press the self test button and the chip goes through 2 files and stops at 999/ Power down remove the Test123 put the game chip back in the board put the board back in the machine, power up you should have a code 61 hold the self test button 4 seconds, you should have a 61-1 turn the jackpot reset key you should get a spin up. If you get a 65-3 turn the jackpot reset key, if it goes to a 65-2 or 65-1 press the self test button and you should get your spin up. Power down remove the game chip and put in your Set 15 chip. Put the board back in to your machine and power up you should have a 0 in the coins played window press the self test button 1 time you will see 9-0 press the spin reels button once it will change to 9-1, press the self test button once 9-1 changes to 0 press the spin reels button til it reads your denomanation, press the self test button and power down. Remove the set 15 chip and put your game chip back in, power up you will have a code 61 press and hold the self test button 4 seconds you will get a 61-1 turn the jackpot reset key and you will get a spin up the bill validator light will come on and it will take bills.

Thanks for the great info Ben.

I got to the 61-1 part but I then get the 65-1 and the reels do NOT spin.
Where do I go from here?

Thank

[Buzz]

BeanMan reread all of Ben's instructions. The ans. to your question is there. ( 4th line center page ) "if it goes to a 65-2 or 65-1 press the self test button and you should get your spin up"

[BeanMan]

When I press the Self Test button the reels do not spin.  I am misunderstanding "get your spin up"?  If so when I press the self test button when it reads 65-1 the reels do nothing.

[Buzz]

With the 65-1 the book says to hold the test button in for one second, try holding it a little longer and it should clear

[BeanMan]

Thanks Buzz, that worked!

You don't know how Lucky you are because I sures hell don't know what I'm doing

   Buzz ya sounded pretty confident when you gave out the advice that just happened to work 

[BeanMan]

So the codes are cleared and it finally lights up but it will not accept the bills I have.  I am not sure if this is because this may be newer money than DBV-145 is programmed to accept?

Any ideas?
Does anyone know which bills it will accept?

[stayouttadabunker]

you need to upgrade a little bit...at least to a DBV200.
Your's will only take the bills with small heads...maybe.

[BeanMan]

So would be needed to upgrade?
Just a DBV-200 head or is there more to it?
This there any good options for grades?

Thanks

[fanninislots]

Beanman,

Just a 200 head with the V2.60 will allow your machine to take everything up to the new $10. I have them at $45.00 including shipping.

Try a dollar bill first.
If it takes the dollar and adds credits, then yes do the up grade.
Or just get some of the older bills with the small head to add credit to your machine.
Remember with a 145 the head will only take bills in one direction. It must be heads (face) up with the presidents head on the right hand side.
With the up-grade to the 200, it will read the bills in all four directions.

Hello!

When upgrading from a DBV-145 to a DBV-200, chances are you will also need to upgrade the DBV power supply.  The DBV-200 needs the newer supply with the vents in the cover like the one pictured below...

Dan #2

[BeanMan]

The power supply that I have has the vents like the one you pictured, Dan #2.  Should that work then?

 Ben, what bills are NOT accepted by the DBV-200?

Thanks for your help,
Beanman

[stayouttadabunker]

New 5's,and new 10's, oh yeah, and thousand dollar bills...

[dpalmi]

The power supply that I have has the vents like the one you pictured, Dan #2.  Should that work then?

Yes - you should be good then....

Ben, what bills are NOT accepted by the DBV-200?

Depends on what kind of machine it is in.  If we are talking about a IGT S+, the latest firmware supports everything except the newest $5 - there is no way to upgrade a S+ to accept these - with any kind of validator/firmware...

Dan #2

[BeanMan]

Thanks guys.

I have an IGT S+,  but seems to be better to upgrade to DBV-200 instead of searching for certain bills and making sure they are put in the right direction, etc.

Thanks again.

[BeanMan]

I got a DBV-200 and installed it quickly and am glad to say eveything works!!

Thanks to everyone who helped!!


Unfortunately the sound is not working now. I guess if its not one thing its another  .

I will first a new post since its not really related to this one.

Thanks again!!

[stayouttadabunker]

Well,
It ONLY took 73 posts to get the DBV working...
Let's see how many it'll take to get the sound going!
