First, here are important aspects of the Pachi. :

PC Board below the Door Window. :

CN 1 - Token Slot Light

CN 2 - Token Jam Button

CN 3 - Token Sensor Magnet

CN 4 - Token Sensor (2 Sensors)

CN 5 - Right Stop Button

CN 6 - Middle Stop Button

CN 7 - Left Stop Button

CN 8 Main Ribbon Cable to Door Window PC Board

CN 9 - Main Door power

CN 10 - Window Light

CN 11 - Spin Knob

CN 12 - MAX Bet Button

CN 13 - Credit Payout Button

Door Window PC Board. :

CN 2 - Ribbon Cable that connects to the MAIN PC Board on the back wall of the Pachi

CN 3 - Ribbon Cable that connects to CN 8 on the PC Board listed Above

LED's on the Main PC Board. :

A - Token Sensor 2

B - Token Sensor 1

C - Spin Knob

D - Hopper Sensor

E - Green Button on Module with Key Switch (Sets Pay Outs)

F - Key turned Right to "ON"

G, H and I - Reel Sensors. (Flash as the Reels are Spinning)

J - Left Stop Button

K - Middle Stop Button

L - Right Stop Button

M - Compriate, can you make it out in the Picture Below? It is a Switch.

N - MAX Bet

O - Pay Out Button (Always on, goes off when button is pressed)

P - Door reset Sensor (Key turned to the left)

Q - Token Jam Button by Token Slot)

R - Red Button on Module with Key Switch (Resets Errors)

Turning the Key to the left will not reset an E0 Error. Either pressing the Red Button or doing a Full Reset I.E.

1. power off
2. turn key to the right
3. power on
4. press green button to set the odds from 1 to 6 visible on the LED right side, mid section of the inner door
5. hold Spin knob down for 5 seconds and release
6. turn key back to the left

Will reset it.

If you have already cleaned the Token Acceptor I would do the Following. :

1. Re seat plug CN 3 on the PC Board Below the Door Window (Token Magnet) (and CN 4 one more time)

2. Re seat Plug CN 8 on the same Board (ribbon cable)

3. Re seat the ribbon cables CN 2 and 3 on the inner door PC Board

4. Re seat the ribbon cable on the Main PC board on the back wall or the Pachi (Just to the right of the LED's on the PC Board).

If all that does not work in fixing the problem and the E0 error is still there let me know what happens as you Push the Red Button (max). Is there a slight Hic Up in the Music being Played as you push the reset Button?

Please PM me your e-mail address and I will send you an owners Manual for your Yamasa Pachislo.

Push the Red Button

so we tried doing what you said and nothing has changed we cant get the music to play again. after following reset procedure we turn machine on and the bonus wheel spins 1 revolation and stops. the percentage light indicator light comes and we can switch the numbers 1 thru 6 and the bottom front light come on in the front door and that is all we can get it to do. and sometimes when turn the reset key to the right when the power is on the lights come on the reels and the front door flashed and the percentage number changes to E0.on right front
door and the music plays as though a jack pot has occurred although we arent sure if it is the music of a jackpot as we got it like this and haven't heard it to distinguish any help you can give we would deeply appriciate thankyou Paul

[luckydog]

i think that is error music

[acacia]

do u know what that means?

[luckydog]

i think new in town covered just about everything

[acacia]

so is there a soultion to the error problem?

[ebb]

after following reset procedure we turn machine on

The machine should already be on.
Check out the reset procedure again.

Hello,

Welcome to Pachitalk acacia

I think with resetting procedures you have to be really careful to do each step slowly, just to be sure you haven't missed something along the way,

and also make sure you are holding down the spin knob for the correct time, in this case it seems it's 5 seconds?? to be sure that it is completed correctly

I would try going through the process again and then posting back with the result, hopefully it will be just a slight glitch and it will reset properly if not then please let us know what code the machine is showing and hopefully someone can offer further advice to you

[acacia]

we went through the proceeder very slowly and still it does nothing. now we cant even get the error code to come on it still does what i posted eariler.

EO can be caused by 3 things that I know of.
1 - The door is open (O) or ajar and has not closed properly.
Do a full reset and when you close the door give it a firm shove to make sure it closes tight. you should hear the door clicking locked in place.
2 - Wires, usually a harness is getting pinched in the door when you close it.
Check the wires, particularly any harness wires running from the door to the back and make sure they are not getting pinched, usually on the hinge side.
3 - A coin is stuck somewhere.
Examine the coin path carefully looking for a stuck coin or possibly some debris blocking a sensor. Also a coin, often one smaller than a token, often a nickel, dime or penny (anything!) can be dropped in by a child and find its way into the hopper. These frequently lodge in the area between the hopper reel and the exit from the hopper. they are usually hard or impossible to see with the hopper assembled. Take the hopper top off and check inside carefully.
Oh and check to make sure you have shoved it back in place properly to give it a firm seating inside!!
EO is an error from the door being open but it can also appear for the other reasons I listed. Pachis seem to have poor self diagnosis programs so it can be anything but I think it is 1 of these 3.
Good luck

Just sent you a detailed troubleshooting matrix to try Via e-mail. I will Try to get Videos up and Loaded Today of mine.

Hang in there ! ! !

We WILL do our BEST to get this Pachi up and Running.

What did I send Him?

Spoiler

Paul,

I'm just off to bed but I have some things that you can check prior to my making the Videos. Regardless if the Pachi is throwing an E0 Error or you did a full reset you can check the operation of the Token sensors. Leave the Door open, Drop a token through the Token Slot and see if LED's 1 and 2 flash as the Token is inserted. (if it drops through the sensors and goes down the chute to the hopper not into the front lower Tray)

They should flash regardless if the machine is reset or setting an E0 error. Check the LED's for the other Buttons on the Door also. They should all operate (both in a reset state and throwing an E0 Error) Stop Buttons, Spin Knob, MAX Bet, Credit payout, and Token Jam Button by the Token slot.. (that one should be "on" and go "off" when you press it.

Like I said. They should all function either in a reset state ot throwing an E0 Error. (A stuck Reel stop Button could be causing a problen and any of the other ones also)

Also, with the Pachi turned off press the metal Flap that is on the Tolen Acceptor. You should be able to push it in and it comes back out when you let go. Power the machine on and either of these two things should happen. If the Pachi is not throwing an Error you should see that metal flap pull in. (it will "click) This allows the tokens to pass through the sensors and go into the Hopper. If the Pachi is in an Error state that flap will not pull in and the Tokens will go into the front lower Tray.

If the Tokens no matter what (throwing an E0 error or the Pachi is reset) just drop into the front lower tray, try passing one backwards into the sensors. Place a Token just above the guide that drops it into the hopper and push it left into the token acceptor. Watch for the LED A and B to light up as you push it left into the Token acceptor. If they light up then they are working. If the Pachi is reset this should throw an E0 Error as you do this and pressing the Red button should clear it.

If you can not get any Tokens to drop into the Hopper (even after resetting the Error) at any time that means that the electric magnet that pulls that metal flap in is not working.

If you have a multi meter set it to read at least 28 volts DC and if you can clear the error on the pachi read the 2 pins on CN 3 (2 yellow wires) Pin 1 will be - (left pin) and pin 2 will be + (right pin as you look at the conecctor). With the connector inserted into the PC Board Probe the connector fron the bottom. (BE CARFUL TO TO SHORT THE TWO PROBES TOGETHER AS YOU ARE DOING THIS)! If there is 28 to 31 volts there then the magnet is bad. If there is not 28 to 31 volts there then we have more trobulshoothing to do.

If this is happening, (the metal flap is not closing) Physicall push that metal flap in and hold it there. As you do this insert a Token and see if it registers in the door counter. If it does, insert at least 2 more Tokens, see if the counter goes up to 3 and press the spin knob and see if you can get the reels to spin. If they do, see if All three Reel Stop buttons light up and press them in any order to stop the Reels.

Let me know what you find out...

I will try to do up the Videos when I get up this evening. The Error music is a short repetivative sequence.

WE WILL FIGURE THIS OUT ! ! !
