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.

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.

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.
Below are some of the more common errors for the IGT S2000 platform of machines and the steps to clear them. Remember, IGT S2000 machines will 'stack' errors. IF the machine has multiple errors, only ONE error will be cleared each time the door is opened and closed. If you know that the cause of the error has been fixed, simply lift up on the door handle/latch, and lower it back down. You do not have to physically open and close the door, just lifting and lowering the door handle will clear the error code from the screen.
If you find you need to Clear and/or Key your machine, we have easy to follow instructions. A Clear chip is not a FIX-ALL! If you have a component that has failed or is causing an error, the error will reoccur after the Clear if the problem is not remedied.
Call Attendant - Turn the brass Reset key on the side of the machine once to see the error(s).
Door Open M - Main Door is open. Close the main door.
Door Open B - Belly Door is open. Close the belly door.
Door Open MB - Door to the cash can is open. Close the door to the cash box and secure if needed.
Low Battery - Battery in the corner of the MPU board has dropped to an insufficient level. Replace with a 3.6v Lithium battery (either coin type, AA, or 1/2AA size). The battery will need to be soldered onto the board. Pease NOTE: STANDARD household batteries are NOT an acceptable replacement.
NetPlex Link Down - Usually this is caused by a failed power supply (given the machine was operating as it should prior to the error).
Now...for the fun part! Certain components in your machine can fail causing false error messages to appear. The error can be completely unrelated to the item listed in the message. For example, a Door Open messages when the door is physically closed could be a sign of bad door optics, or perhaps a failing I/O board. A Coin-In Jam error on a coinless machine can also be caused by a failed Door I/O board.
