hi all im new to the site and im getting error 17 and 85 alot of sites are saying hopper is jammed and i need to empty it but how do i start doing that and which hopper is it

[jedimacster]

can any one help dont know how to get the hopper out

[Bencrest]

I assume it's a Bell Fruit / QPS or Mazooma machine?

Error 17 does suggest an issue with the hopper, however I'm pretty sure you'd also get that error if the hopper were empty, if the opto failed, or if the hopper / opto were improperly connected to the mainboard.

Any chance of some more info (machine name / manufacturer) / and ideally some pics showing the hopper?

its a barcrest machine called super charged mate and it was working fine on free play and once i locked it i stuck a quid in and the error came on

error 17 is deffo a hopper fault and most likely blocked/jammed with £1 coins.

1, remove hopper from machine by pulling lock pin upwards and sliding the hopper tray out.

2, remove hopper top cover on hopper

3, turn hopper upside down to remove all contents of coins (£1 coins)

4, check the rotating £1 bowl to make sure it rotates by hand and remove any offending £1 coin.

5, once coin and bowl rotate freely then put cover back on then slot hopper back into position

hope this helps
