Clean Sweep Crane - claw claps twice after bill inserted

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum.

I have a 5th gen Clean Sweep crane that has work well since I purchased it 3 months ago off craigslist. I'm hosting a kids party this weekend and stupidly decided to make an adjustment to dip switches 5 and 6 on the second bank to increase the number of games per DBA credit. It didn't work and now the machine no longer posts ANY credits.

I've set the dip switchs back to their original positions but now the machine claps the claw twice in a row whenever a bill in inserted. No error codes display on the credit/timer and on a very rare occasion a credit is posted if I move the gantry from the starting/home position.

I called Start Industries technical support line and left a VM and also tried emailing them.
The main board has sticker that says: Smart Ind. Cranes, CS/Bear Claw '97, 5th GEN 55B4
Current dip switch settings are:
Bank 1: off, on, off, off, off, on, off, on
Bank 2: on, off, off, on, off, off, on, off

Thanks for any and all help!
 
I got a reply from Smart Industries:

It sounds like the game is resetting when that happens. Try to adjust the +5vdc on the power supply to +5.3vdc.

Does anyone know how to do that?? I've attached a picture of the power supply unit.

do u see that "white control" on the front of the power supply ?
if so grab a meter place it on ground and your +5 volt line
with the meter in dc mode
just turn that knob up to 5.3vdc
go slow

HA! No, I don't have the nads to tempt fate again. My wife would kill me.
 
What bill acceptor brand and model does it have?

I have a Clean Sweep without a DBA and want to install one. My first purchase gets power but does not communicate with claw machine. Also, does the harness from the DBA have 7 wires and the CS only uses 4, or does the DBA connector only have 4 wires?

Thanks.
