A computer store will have the mount

Hey buddy, so a couple things you can try: 1. Try removing the MEI and putting it back in. In some cases that will help reset it. 2. If that doesnt work, you will need to do a RAM Clear with the programming chip and reset the machine.

I don’t have a board to demonstrate that on but in the future if I do I can.

OH MY GOD! Not good, all i can tell you is the coins most likely shorted something out. Start by making sure the power if off and get all the coins out. Especially look around the motherboard, or any exposed connections. Once you know all the quarters are out, replace the 3 fuses (i think there are 3) on the bottom right hand side. They should push in and turn left or some screw out. After you have replaced those fuses, plug the machine back into the wall, then turn it on and pray that it just blew a fuse. If it works after replacing the fuses, there is a good chance nothing was destroyed. Good Luck. If it still doesn't work, you will need someone to chevk out the motherboard or power supply depending on what it is, or isn’t doing.

Thank you so much yes you are the man.

This could be caused by the larger green battery. You can either replace it or remove it all together and that should fix the error

@@CowboySlots ty I have new batteries coming. I will let you know. Love your videos!

@@CowboySlots what is odd, I bought from someone they showed me a video of it working (I would hope the video was taken a few days before I picked it up, ugg). I pick up the machine bring it home, the machine had netplex error. Hope fully the battery is all that is wrong.

@@CowboySlots would that affect bill validator and the vouchers?

You dear can removed that battery if you want, I personally have never had one leak in any machine ive owned or sold. However by taking it out, you do run a risk of future error messages. Personally I just replace it.

@@CowboySlots I would have to advise anyone reading to remove it. I’ve seen literally seen hundreds of boards ruined by that battery and no error messages caused by removing it. Quite the opposite actually, I’ve seen numerous error messages caused by leaving it in. That acid really fucks things up and that battery only logs door open messages during a power outage, so literally no need for it at home. Just google “s2000 door open error” and you’ll see all the chaos caused by that damn battery. You don’t even have to use a soldering iron to get it out, you can clip it out with dykes. If you did use a soldering iron, just don’t have the heat up too high.

@Cowboy Slots Oh if you you have the enhanced MPU, the 1270. It is advised to remove the green battery along with chip U16 which is just below the battery. Removing that chip will trick the MPU into not knowing the battery is removed and thus give you no errors. 502 and 504 MPUs don’t require that extra step, just remove that battery and you’re done.

@@CowboySlots oh and the only reason I know these things is because I’ve been repairing boards with the battery damage. I’ve got a stack of them and some of them are too far gone to even fix. These boards are getting harder to find and prices are going up. Future boards with battery damage is just going to exacerbate the problem. Just trying to raise awareness while boards can still be saved. Give it another 10 to 20 years and many more will be trash.

@@CowboySlots Also, do you have any boards that aren’t working? I know you said you have no battery damaged boards, but do you have any with a door open error, coin jam, or netplex down? I’d be interested in taking them off your hands for repairs.

Try doing a ram clear first, if that doesn’t work it may be the larger green battery on the board is bad and causing the messages

S2000s do not require a ram clear to change the battery. As long as the machine has no credits in it, you can change the batter without needing to clear it

@@CowboySlots Awesome fast response. We don't have s2000's anymore.

My machine is an IGT S2000 2x 3x 4x 5x Dragon. Model #96438300.

No display messages are typically caused by something simple like a loose wire or something disconnected. My first troubleshoot would be to unplug the display and plug it back in and then follow all the cords to make sure they are secure. If you disabled the solenoid, sometimes by disableing or changing hardware, you might have to do a ram clear on it and go through the set up process again so it realizes that it’s not there. If you do not want to hear the solenoid you can always disable it in the settings without unplugging it. Hope that helps!

@@CowboySlots I checked all wires and plugged in a loose wire. I didn't get the solenoid disabled. I can't get it to respond. Same message scrolling. Any other ideas? Thank you!

@@tammyclark176 Do you have the RAM clear and key chips? I would do a full clear and reset on it. Usually that helps clear up just about anything with the machine.

If you dont have the chip set you can buy them on eBay, just look up RAM Key and and clear for the S2000 slot. Should be a Key 17 if I recall, but there are a few universal ones out there.
