WMS BlueBird RAM CLEAR procedure.
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
WMS Service Manual—Upright Slot 16-004338—SETUP S1/CH1 1-3 Setup Plugging a 120V slot machine into a 240V line will damage the slot machine.! CAUTIONCAUTION Probe Holes 3 1 5 4 2 1,080 710 680 530 330 4,080 3,030 2,410 2,150 1,730 4,820 3,600 2,850 2,560 1,900 Probe Hole 5 4 3 2 1 Hopper Probe Level U.S. CAUTIONCAUTION Take. Congratulations on your recent slot machine purchase of an original Las Vegas slot machine! WBA acceptors (pictures on the diagram to the left) have more memory to recognize a greater variation of bill types. Most are programmed to recognize new $5, $10 and $20 bills. They can be removed by pulling down on the hinge below the bill bezel.
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.

Third if you purchase products from here and it does not show a tracking # that means I have not shipped it.
If you have a tracking that means in 1 to 36 hours you should see soon that the USPS has received it if you don't see it received by the USPS that does not mean I did not ship it it means the USPS has not scanned it in and if the USPS received it and from the date it was received it has not shown and movement from the 1st scan the USPS will not take action until it's been 10 business days thats 10 BUSINESS DAYS that means on the 11th business day they will look into it.
Fourth if you purchase from here and it's taking to long for your products to arrive don't email me repeatedly and start bad mouthing because I have not returned your email or your delivery is slow I try to be on here at least once a day but most of the times I can't because my phone rings off the hook and my texting is crazy to because my in home slot machine business has some of the best reviews across the USA so I get calls from all over the USA from slot machine owners asking all sorts of questions like I said my slot business takes up most of my life after working the long hours i put in i am just to tired to try and look at sales.
5th what it all boils down to if you want to buy products from me don't expect me to jump through hoops or kiss your butt to please you I don't need the money from this site I am only here providing a service to slot machine owners in need of help.
I have my handling time set at 10 days due to my hours I work doing in home slot machine repair services I work all hours of the day and night and on all holidays although 99% of the time I get my sold packages out with in 1 to 2 business days but there are times I can't ship buyer's packages out as quickly as I would like to due to my slot machine repair business taking up most of my spare time.
Now that I have explained my 10 day delay in shipping your purchased items just remember this when leaving your response and the 5 star rating system I have already informed you so be kind when leaving response.If you can't be patient and wait at least 10 days just for me to ship out your purchase because if I ship at the 10 day mark it can take up to 5 more days to get your purchase that's at least 15 days before you receive your purchase.(DO NOT BUY FROM ME JUST TO LEAVE ME A BAD RATING WHEN LEAVING response BECAUSE I HAVE ALREADY TOLD YOU MY SHIPPING TIME ITS UNETHICAL FOR YOU TO EXPECT THAT I DESERVE A BAD RATING IF YOU PURCHASED MY PRODUCTS AFTER READING THIS AND IF YOU ARE THAT KIND OF BUYER DO NOT PURCHASE WHAT I SELL BECAUSE SELLERS LIKE THAT CAUSE SELLERS TO CHARGE HIGHER PRICES.)
( Leaving bad response for the wrong reasons will make sellers charge more for there products and higher shipping rates to make up for loss revenue due to 's I ONLY USE NEW EPROMS FOR THIS SET OF RESET CHIPS

2 NEW IGT S-PLUS CPU CLEAR AND BV SET UP CHIPS WITH INSTRUCTIONS.
THESE RESET CHIPS CAN BE USED IN 1988 TO 1999
SLOT MACHINES IF YOUR CPU BOARD IS THE SAME
INTHE 2ND PHOTO
These are new eproms (chips) with hand written Labels.
Included:
1-Ram Clear (IVC123)
1-B.V. set 15
3 pages of instructions
(IGT CPU BOARD NOT you have a CODE-61 and it does not reset with reset key you are stuck in a 61 loop.
If you have a CODE-43 and the Reels are turning slow wont reset with the key.
CODE-12 low battery and you need to replace the Low battery or a dead battery.
Hopper wont payout the slot machine locks up makes a error sound reset key clearsit but error
returns as soon as you win or when you press the cash out button.
Other errors that wont go away even after you reset your slot machine with reset key.
All of these are signs that you need to do a Ram Clear repeated errors will not go away.
And when to clear the ram you also need to turn your bill validator back on and setup your
coin Denomination.
These 2 resete proms(chips) are the27C512 when using thesee proms
you do not need to move jumpers on your CPU motherboard,
If a seller is selling 27C256 E proms(chips) you need to change the jumper below the chips on the CPU motherboard
I don't sell thosee promsthey are no good.
If youown anIGT S-plus slot machine, you definitely need a set of these chipsin case you need to clear the ram-or at least restart the bill acceptor.
Slot Machine Ram Clear Meaning List
Also, there good to just have aroundin case and you will some day have to replace your CPU battery to clear your CPU to factory settings. The BV (Bill Validator or bill acceptor) chip is needed if you have one.
These two microchips workon S-PLUS machines: Upright and Slant Top slot machines
Like double diamond, red white blue, haywire, 5X pay and many other S-Plus slot machines that require a IVC123 clear chip
if you own anIGT Slot machine you will need these chips some time in the future.
Easy to use instructions:
insert chip in game chipsocket of cpu,power machine and push menu button, followINSTRUCTIONS -INCLUDED WITH CHIPS.Works on MOST IGT S-PLUS, new/old style boards, regardless of which style your using -(upright, slant, round top.)
NOTE: The BV chip will not upgrade bill validator to accept new currency.
chip must be replaced invalidator head.
You will receive a IVC123 clear chip and a SET15 BV
Please make sure these are the chips you need for your machine.
I got these chips surplus they are used and all are tested just before shipping the only reason they would not work in your slot
machine is if you install them backward or break a pin.
If you reset your slot machine and you can't get past the 61 contact me and I will tell you how to get past that it because there are
IGT S-Plus slot machines that require a extra step to complete the resetprocedure.
I know this because I am a slot machine repairtechnician and haveexperienced this issue before.
STEP BY STEP Simple to follow INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED.
NOTE: care must be used when handling thesesensitive chips. If the Chips are installed backwards they will be destroyed!
If your not sure if you have an S+ MPU board look at the one in the Photo.
Your MPU board must look like the one in the photos!
I will accept returns if the eproms are not used or damaged from you installing them backward.
(Both of these are pre-tested before shipping guaranteed to work and fit your CPU board upon arrival)
(The arrows on the eproms are for you to know how to install them correctly there is a notch on every eprom and on all the eproms on the CPU board all have notches and or circles on 1 endthey all have some sort ofindicator on them so you can see they are all installed the same way (direction) so its impossible to install them backwards if you double check or triple check after installation of the 2 eproms before installing the cpu board back in the slot machine before turning on power because once you turn the power on if any eproms are backward then you just ruined 1 or all of them I don't warranty backward installs and bent pins or broken pinsif you installed any of them carelessly these are sensitive electronic parts and care must be taken when handling these eproms so be careful not to drop any of them.)
