How to crack into a vending machine

With my first post on the geek_blog, we'll talk about how to crack into a vending machine. No, I have not figured out how to get free drinks yet, that's your job. This guide I am telling you is just to impress your friends.

First things first:

On the average coke machine, you see this:
-The buttons.
-Like...
-The one that says fanta.

The first button is considered "1".
The second, is "2"
The third is "3"
... etc.


So first you must know a few commands.
"2" and "3" means "up" and "down".
"1" means "Exit"
"4" means select.

So now you are ready. Enter "4""2""3""1".
Sometimes you may have to enter this twice.

You'll most likely see the sign EROR. Remember which button is up and down. EROR is just a n00b blocker.

Taken from wikihow:

• EROR: This menu option displays error messages for the machine, including problems that occurred with the refrigeration system, the vending mechanism, the bill changer, and the bill validator. To see error messages, press the select button (button 4) when the display shows EROR, and then scroll through to see specific errors. Select an individual error to see more details. Generally if only one type of error has occurred you won't be able to scroll through other error options.
• CASH: This option allows you to see the machine's total historical cash intake, as well as the resettable cash counted for each drink selection. Press the select button when the the LED display shows CASH. This will show you the historical cash counted by the machine. Note that it will include fractions of a dollar, such that if it displays 1452425, the historical cash count is $14,524.25. Use the scroll buttons (2 or 3) to navigate to the cash counts for each slot (each beverage selection). The number displayed will show first the slot number and then the revenue for that slot number since the last time the counter was reset. In some machines, it will be preceded by the letters CA or SL (for "slot").
• SALE: This option allows you to see the machine's historical total number of sales, as well as the resettable number of sales for each drink selection. It works like the CASH menu above, except that the numbers displayed reflect the number of beverages sold.
• RTN: Sometimes labeled EXIT, this option stands for "Return To Normal" and allows you to exit the menu completely and return the machine to normal mode. Press the select button to exit.

Have fun and impress your friends!
