Noob - help requested with IGT S+ "Spin til you Win" (Fixed-thanks!)

Greetings, back again-

Sorry, with Thanksgiving and the Holidays (plus work!) I haven't had much time to investigate since my last post.  Today I decided to find some time to get back into the troubleshooting.

I do know that the optics are bad- however, I created a wiring harness to complete the circuit.  I checked the harness with a meter, I know that I have continuity throughout the harness, and double-checked that the connections are going to the proper places.  Even with the harness in place, the behavior is the same, unfortunately.  (The '1' in winner paid and '6' in credits are the only lit values on the display.)

I have checked all three fuses with a meter, they are all fine.

What should the voltage be at the optics leads?  I have 10 volts DC at both the door and cabinet optics leads.

Just for fun, I powered down and removed the MPU board and checked that all chips are seated.  Replaced the board and powered up, still no luck.

Any suggestions on where to possibly go from here?  I do have access to another working S+ machine (double diamond deluxe)- is it possible to temporarily swap the mpu boards to see if this is where the problem lies?  Is there any risk to the working machine in doing this? 

Thanks again!

Finally- the game is playable again!

A big thanks to Blue Ridge Slots for sending a few key parts my way- placed the order late on Wednesday, and everything was delivered on Saturday.  Great service all around- they can count me as a very satisfied customer!

As it turns out, the MPU board was the culprit.  Switched that out, and all is well again (and replaced the door optics while I was at it- but the MPU was the root of the issue).

Thanks again to everyone who posted in the thread to help me along- it is much appreciated!

One last question- could anyone please point me to the PSR pages?  I've searched but cannot find anything on the site (or google for that matter).   This machine has a SP625 game chip.

Thanks again!!

We don't have a permanent repository of files. When a member needs and requests a specific file, other members can share the file from their personal collections by uploading it to the Submit a New File area. It is always best to get the file right away, as the files there are deleted regularly.

SP625 seems to be elusive, but I uploaded a copy of SP611 for you. It is for type 0, 1, 4, 5, 12 (Spin 'Till You Win is type 4) and should work the same way that your chips does for all practical purposes.

I have a PSR for SP626, but it is missing crucial information about the numbers that you should be seeing in the LED windows, so I skipped that one.

Don't forget the song change option!  The respin games play a song during the respin feature, and the older SP chips like yours allow you to select from several songs. The SP731 has seven songs -- I don't know how many your SP625 has, but it's probably the same. Changing out the songs is half the fun! 

Enjoy

Thank you very much StatFreak!  I've pulled the file down, and I'll see what I can get into next... 

Thanks again for the help- much appreciated!
