Hi ppl
i need some help here real bad.
have been looking all over the place for the :error-code's:
for Winner Every Time Jr./mini crane machine
i even have been in contact with virtuplay corp
and they seem to think e0-e9 are top secert
code's.now some of them i have fiquried out the old hard way
ie plug machine in remove a :header-plug: and see what error code pop's up
but the problem here is a error-1 can mean a few thing's
same with error 5
and with out a complete list it is very hard to service these last few machines
any help woud be greatly apperached it

I wonder who makes the controller board in those?

Maybe they are similar to the ICE branded machines. (?)

yes they are a hacked hacked hacked out :ice:
someone thought they were gonna get rich from hacking :ice:

my e-mail exchanges with the owner of virtuplay boder line on stupied
from him saying what warrenty to the complete manual  :should: be in the machine
straight up rubbish from a mfg...i would never recomend them to anybody for any reason
out of scale of 1-10 where 1=best they so far score a solid 10
now onto the error code's i have just about all of them fiqed out
i am olny missing 3 error-1 has a few reason's for showning and error-5
from there i can sign off of these pile's of cow dung

for them whom want to know

e-1 = a block in the prize output channel >chk both side's< there opto
min is  6 from the 9  ie 6 of the recieving led's must b on
this are a compater style circuit

e-5=a coin door problem
this is usaly toward's crap wiring
as the mech is solid

also chk your :fan's: for some god for known reason they mounted the
power supply :fan: side down >1/4"< ,talk about dirt.

now onto something of interest
they use a opto interpurter in the circuit
it is on :data: line @4 return
disreguard it...your unit will never fail again

also ditch the :mag-micro-switch: the type used in :door-mag's: for alarm system's
a handey leaf style mirco switch will do dandy here,the mirco will give no error code e-7
as the head has found home to your :left:,make sure your setting 's are set to it...
it is dp3 sw8 >0< ie on

more to follow
as i am done on #2 @ #3 i can do a compare

By "disregard" do you mean to bypass it? (jumper it)
