61-1 won't clear

[rjpohl]

I kept getting a 49 error code and was pretty sure all the reels were OK, so I decided to do a complete ramclear.  Now I can't get the 61-1 to clear.  this is a s+ machine.  I know there is a wire that is usually tie wrapped to the right of reel #3.  I have put an wire lug and place under a screw on the cabinet in the past past and that would clear the 61-1.  I've tried a new reset switch too.

thanks

These are the reels error codes right out of the manual.
"Code 49" means you have a bad connection.
The easiest solution is change your harness and/or reel.
The harder solution is to check your reel harness and those "tie-wrapped" wires on the reel itself.
Check for continuity-there's a broken or loose wire somewhere in the lines or at the connection points.
Can you show us a picture of that tie-wrapped" wire? I'm suspecting that...
Good luck and keep us posted!

it cleared, put another board in and the machine worked fine, put old board back in and the 61-1 cleared.  Don't know why that helpled just glad it did.

Yes Rjpohl,
Give credit to Brianzz or Jay, I cant remember who but....

I remember reading a topic by them one time , on the old website,  about switching chips and boards to clear stubborn error codes.
I dont think anyone knew why it worked,  but it did
Another good reason to own more than one S+!

Glad you got it going!

I've tried just about everything to not have to dig out the clear chips, I bought them and used them once and haven't seen them since
