How To Reset Hanabi Slot Machine

/ Comments off

Recently one of our blog readers raised this question that there are some errors when buying a used slot machine. Though his query was related to his IGT Double Diamond model 96435800 reel slot machine which he had bought but here we are catering to some of the most common errors buyers face when they buy a real slot machine specially a refurbished ones. You can try to fix these errors by doing the following actions as given against each error. Also there are many superb videos online that teach you how to fix these errors.

EEPROM Device Error

Turn the reset-key to activate the hopper payout. This test page will pay out ten coins and is useful to see if the hopper is operating properly. To run this test with the S-Plus push the white self-test switch until you see a “ 3 “ in the Coins Played Window then hit the spin button.

EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) is user-modifiable read-only memory (ROM) that can be erased and reprogrammed (written to) repeatedly through the application of higher than normal electrical voltage. Unlike EPROM chips, EEPROMs do not need to be removed from the computer to be modified. However, an EEPROM chip has to be erased and reprogrammed in its entirety, not selectively. It also has a limited life – that is, the number of times it can be reprogrammed is limited to tens or hundreds of thousands of times. In an EEPROM that is frequently reprogrammed while the computer is in use, the life of the EEPROM can be an important design consideration.

A special form of EEPROM is flash memory, which uses normal PC voltages for erasure and reprogramming.

Here is the video how to fix this error

Error on door of slot machine

Many times when the display on the door indicates an error condition, open and close the door to reset the game and clear the error. Open the main door which clears the current game information and a “0” appears in the Coins Played window. Closing the door resets the game and the reels will spin and stop in their last valid position. The error code should clear and the digital display returns to normal game play.

Error Code 12 Battery Voltage

To fix this error turn power off and then turn power on if the battery voltage has dropped below 2.9 V. Also replace ASAP due to possible RAM (Memory) corruption. Open / close door to clear and also Replace 3.6 V Lithium battery on CPU board.

Coin Errors

For coin errors see that comparitor is seated in all four acceptor clips and that acceptor does not have coin(s) jammed or the coin optics below comparitor is not blocked You can ensure toggle power switch is in activated position if installed.

Coin Out Tilt Hopper

Check for and clear any jammed coins in the coin out channel. Also see that the coins are not jammed behind hopper knife or see that the coin out optic sensor is not blocked by dust. If so you can replace hopper coin out optic.

Error in Extra Coin Out Hopper

To fix this see that the hopper motor brake functions properly. Check the coin wiper/ knife for jams and if so adjust them if necessary.

Hopper Empty Error

This is the most common error that new slot machine owners will have because the cash out button was pushed and the number of coins in the hopper is less than the total credits to be paid out. You can open the main door and check the hopper for coin level (your hopper will not dispense all of the coins), refill and close the main door. You may have to do this several times for all of the credits to be paid out.

Reel Tilt Errors

You will find that there are reel tilt errors and for this see that whether the designated reel is misaligned or malfunctioning. Also check if the reel is not unplugged. You can switch connectors from one reel to another, determine if error follows change of connectors. Try replacing reel assembly or optics if error stays with bad reel. Also clear Ram and see if it works again.

Error Codes and Fixes

During the process of clearing error codes, you may encounter multiple 6x series errors. Here are few common ones and their fixes

CMOS RAM Error

This means Bad (or cleared) CMOS RAM data You can Press test button 3 seconds Error code 61-1 should now be displayed. Now close door, turn and release reset key once. Same for game data reset.

Bad Game EPROM or Data EPROM Error

Check circuit board and replace Game EPROM. For Data EPROM error check circuit board and replace Reel EPROM

Bad EPROM Device or Bad EPROM Data or Game Type Mismatch

Press self test switch for 3 seconds If error will not clear replace EPROM Also if the processor could not read or write to the named chip Press test button for 3 seconds Error code clears from display.

Most of the errors can be resolved with little help but many need technical knowledge. Remember that if you are on a warranty or not the place or online site where you purchased a used slot machine is there to assist you with trouble shooting and repairs. They can guide you over the phone or send some mechanical and technical person to do so.

Hoppers run on AC power yet the MPU that tells it to cash out runs on DC voltage. In order to do this a small interface called an SSR (Solid State Relay) is placed in between the MPU and the hopper. An SSR is a device in which DC voltage can control AC voltage.
The SSR will rarely go bad but if you have to check the power going to the hopper. This is where to check.
Once the cash out Button has been pressed the MPU send a signal through the SSR to the Hopper to begin cashing out. The coin out-optics or switch on the Hopper report back to the MPU, telling it how many coins has been paid out. Once the correct amount of credits has been given, the MPU shuts down the Hopper.
To test the hopper for the PE-Plus press the white self-test button to the test hopper page. Turn the reset-key to activate the hopper payout. This test page will pay out ten coins and is useful to see if the hopper is operating properly.
To run this test with the S-Plus push the white self-test switch until you see a “ 3 “ in the Coins Played Window then hit the spin button.
There is also an option located on the output page that will allow the hopper to run constantly until you stop it. To do this for the PE-Plus simply go to the output page use the deal-draw button until the arrow points to “HOPPER ONE” or “HOPPER TWO” ether one will work. When you turn the reset key, the hopper will run until you let go of the key.
For the S-Plus go to output page “ 2 “ then the turn the reset key to “ 35 “ once the spin button is pushed it will run until you let go.
The number one thing to go wrong by far is coin jams especially if you have a bar-top or slant-top game. Slant-tops and bar-tops have what is called the escalator that the coins have to slide up in order to get to the coin out tray. Any bent or foreign coin will jam up and cause general mayhem. If you are lucky, enough to have an upright game (because there easier to fix) then the bad coins will most often cause the coins to go under the knife.
The coin-out optic is located at the point where the coins exit the hopper. The coin-out optic tells the MPU how many coins have left the machine. If they go bad, they will generally cause a coin-out tilt. Most often, the wires leading to them are cut or mangled and no signal gets back to the MPU. Sometimes they get dirty and just need cleaning by blowing on them. (If the optics ground wire is not properly grounded it will cause a hopper runaway)
To remove the hopper simply open the door “or doors” remove the coin-in assembly and pull it out. If you have an upright game, you will not have to pull out the coin-in assembly since they are built into the door.
The hopper is connected to what is called the MOLEX connecter. All the wires from the coin-out optics and ac power for the hopper motor run through this.
The main components of a hopper depend on your game cabinet and game version. The most common are:
• Knife: This is what the coins slide up on to exit the hopper.
• Shelf and Shelf Wheel: These are to plates one smaller than the other that the coins ride up on out of the bowl and to the knife.

• Agitator: This is a star shaped thing usually made out of rubber or hard plastic that sits on the shelf in the middle of the bowl and stirs up the coins so they ride out.
• Escalator: This is for bar-top and slant-top models so when the coins exit the hopper they ride up the escalator and exit into the tray.
• Coin-Out Optics: Senses when a coin has or has not exited the hopper and informs the MPU.

Working on hoppers is not a fine science the only electric components are the coin-in optics and the electric motor. The electric motor can be hooked up to a wall socket to see if it works. Warning this is not suggested to be done because of obvious hazards and a proper test cord should be used when testing the motor.
If the coin-out optic is having a problem the hopper will still work in test mode and will spit out coins. Everything else on a hopper is mechanical and was learned after years of having to fix them. Often slot techs carry their own home made tools and have deferent methods of repairing them.

How To Reset Hanabi Slot Machine Key

Before ticket in ticket out I used to carry around five pounds of tools and parts to fix them, while other slot techs would just carry a screw driver to fix a hopper. Basically if you have mechanical experience working on things like cars or truck's you will most likely not have many problems. If you do not have mechanical experience then remember how things come apart so you can put it back together again. Write it down or take pictures if you have to.
