7 vs $ won't spin

[vynncredible]

Not sure what to do. I have done the reset sequence and the machine resets, makes a sound when I put in a token, and registers a credit but will not spin or respond when the joystick or button is pressed to start it spinning. Could you please help?

are you sure it isn't a max bet machine that needs 3 tokens to spin?

Yes, I've had it for a while, so it has worked in the past. It has an option for 1,2 or 3 coin bets. I've tried each combination. It accepts the coins and registers that the bet is there with both the sound effect and red line illumination, but when you pull the joystick down to spin, no sound effect of spinning takes place.

Hello

Welcome to PachiTalk, have you done the full 'hard' reset which includes the odds change? if not then it may be worth a try just in case

Most errors are usually remedied with a full reset, so just to double check that you are carrying out the complete hard reset

Here is some info that explains how to reset a pachislo, as part of this process it includes how to change and set the skill level, you must follow all steps carefully

"How To Set the Skill Levels of Your Pachislo
HOW CHANGE ODDS:

"TURN YOUR MACHINE OFF FIRST"

1. Locate internal key switch, and insert key.
Note: In order to change odds, machine must be in idle mode with no tokens/coins or credits being played and off.

2. Turn "reset" key switch to on, to access programming mode.

3. Turn on machine now.

4. Depending on machine type, a number from 1 to 6 will be displayed on one of the LED meters on front door. (please note on some models the numbers could be displayed inside the machine)

5. Locate and push Skill button. Depress button and notice movement of number being displayed in LED meter.

6. Once desired level is displayed (1 to 6), push down on play handle (Joy Stick) for 10 seconds, and depress both "BET CREDITS" and "COLLECT CREDITS" buttons to lock odds level into machine memory.

7. Turn "reset" key back to off.

8. Machine should immediately initialize. If not, turn power switch to the OFF position, wait 15 seconds and turn power switch back to ON position.


Also just to confirm some additional info (from member Chrisdice) regarding hard reset

Two switches on the power supply:
- One requires a soft reset at the end of a bonus.
- The other pays out all tokens at the end of a bonus.

For these switches in most cases off is in the down or right position. The for off and on are:

無 = off

有 = on



Do let us know if this helps at all or if you require any further advice

I have done this a number of times and no luck.

The payout LED shows the number 4. I'm guessing this is the skill level. Does it mean anything if this number doesn't change when doing the reset sequence?

have you fixed this? if so, how? my machine is doing the same thing. it has this same issue.

the joystick contacts may need cleaning or you have a poor connection to the board, have you tried lifting it up???
