I was able to replace my tell tale battery in my IGT G23 without needing to contact a slot tech. Thank you for posting this extremely helpful video!!👍Well done!
Great video! I can't see the type of battery you used as the replacement (thumb was blocking the view). Can you tell me the battery pack you used as the replacement?
It's a 3.6v 1650 MAH - it has a custom molex on it to fit IGT's backplane molex, but that's not necessary - just make sure you have the pin out correct when you connect it to the board. Or, buy the complete one here: www.spininc.com/comp64-igt-g20-3-6volt-igt-1650mah-ni-mh
Marc one more question, IGT G20 has this error message " Configuration Verification Required" I'm waiting for replacement battery for Battery Tilt but now this shows up, any idea what to do? Thanks
Thank you very much for the video. It was extremely helpful. Can you assist me with this? I changed the telltale battery just as you described, but when I re-booted the machine the "batteries tilt" error came back up. I decided to re-boot it again right after that and there was no more error message - the game played great. Now, every time I start up the machine, the "batteries tilt" error comes up. I then immediately re-boot it and the error goes away. I was doing this process for several months and decided to change the telltale battery again. Same thing. 1st start-up gives the "batteries tilt" error, but an immediate re-boot eliminates it. Any thoughts?
It might be the two batteries that are in the IGT Signature card located in the cpu box. It’s the card that has a ribbon cable going into it. You’d have to power down the machine, open the bottom door, unplug all cables and pull the brain box out. They are just nickel batteries you can get at Walmart.
@@HomeSlots I searched for a video of how to do that, but I can't find one. Do you know if there's a video that can take me through that step-by-step? I'm worried about messing it up.
Hello, I just bought a IGT G23 2011 multi player slot. Before I bought it, it was working. The guy I bought from had it hooked to 2 other machines. When I got it home and booted it up, I get a No Sync on the main screen and red, blue and green striped box up top. I do get a beep every few seconds. I unpluged it for a day and plugged back in. I got the AVP splash on the top and bottom and then went to no sync. Any thoughts please?
by the sounds of it, the seller had the game programmed to be a linked game. from what i’m hearing you’d either have to see if you can change the settings by entering the tech menu. or worse comes to worse, ram clear and re program it.
I'm purchasing one of these for $500 in it's going to be delivered this week I know it has a dead battery or low battery warning do I need to buy reset chip to reprogram after I do what you did with the batteries on this machine
@@HomeSlots Hey you know what I just got it and it looks like that that's all my problem is I need to buy a battery but my quick question is on certain machines people used to wire up a couple AA batteries is there a mod that we can use cause I have some vape rechargeable lithium batteries I'm wondering if I can make my own tell tell battery
@@podfun Not sure I would advise that, but it might work. Pro-tip, you can buy cheap batteries on ebay that are meant for older cell phones. Just need to match up the voltages. You'll have to remove the small white plastic wire plug on the board in order to get non-official batteries to fit
The light that surrounds the speaker above the screen on my G23 works intermittently. Sometimes it turns off and if I bang on the speaker grill the light will come back on or come back dimly. Any idea what would cause that like something specific in there that could be loose ?
I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS YOU . the issue is the speaker plug on the board is bad < I have to move it around a tad till it connects and it is located on the very bottom door on the G20
It's used for a lot of things: Communicating your coin in/coin out from players card, jackpot notification to attendants, remote disable of machine, etc.
Could this be causing a C error code? I cannot find out what a C code is. But I did have a battery tilt error code right before I moved. Any help is appreciated.
"C" means that the switch on the CPU door is in the open state. You need to put a piece of paper or something on the switch to close it. It's behind the door on the CPU brain box that has the 2 secure USB ports in it.
@@HomeSlots Ok that is on the bottom of the slot right? Above where I would download games and the E-key USB? There is a piece of paper there and I wonder if it just isn't tight enough as I just moved the slot to a new house.

Glad I could help!
would the meters need to be captured before doing this if a player tracking sentinel is being used?
Hola soy de argentina trabajo en un casino y tenemos una igt triline que marca telltale batery low. Le hemos cambiado las dos baterías y sigue igual
Do you have a video on replacing an IGT S2000 soldered battery and reset? Thanks for your videos.
I can do one for the battery, I have plenty of videos on doing a reset. Just posted one an hour ago btw.
Top dollar machine has blue ambulance looking truck lit up and saids call attendant, and the paper light is on. It is full of paper. Any ideas?????

I know this is a late reply but in my experience this means that the 2032 battery in the cpu needs replaced

Nope, you don't need to do that - just swap out the battery!

i see network ports. how do they connect to the network? what data do they transfer.

@@robburton1362 That's likely the problem - try to find a thicker piece of paper to make sure that little switch is pushed back.
@@HomeSlots That did it! Thanks so much!
Marc, where can I buy the battery? IGT G20 thanks and I sub to Cowboy Slots too!
Thanks for the sub! Here you go: www.spininc.com/comp64-igt-g20-3-6volt-igt-1650mah-ni-mh
@@HomeSlotsThanks Marc
I have an IGT quit working. Do you work on the motherboard?
What is going wrong with it? Doesn't turn on? Nothing on display? etc.
Youd make alot of money if you worked in a casino fixing these . Like your guitars btw
Slot techs get paid horribly.
@@HomeSlots do you work for yourself?
@@tomdipietro8814 Yes, I have a full time job in IT
Mad skills!!
I don't know about that, just a battery swap hahah.
