Narrative:

Aircraft had prior problem with emergency doors (right wing slide) on inbound flight. As maintenance worked the problem the MEL was referenced and I spoke to the mechanic. It was stated that they would do the procedure as stated in mpm 52-3 and sign off the logbook. However; maintenance control told them that there was a problem with the system and that the problem should be fixed. At that time my first officer and I reviewed the QRH for emerg doors; in particular right wing slide to see what would be the action to be taken if this problem reoccurred. It was discussed what could occur at a nose up takeoff attitude and a slide being deployed. We were looking at an extended flight over water at night with no diverts other than hawaii airports or california airports. Our takeoff weight was 236;000 pounds. We discussed what could happen if the slide were to deploy. The QRH states that minor damage could occur if the slide did deploy and that we should make a visual check to see if it in fact did deploy. This being airborne; it states that if wing slide EICAS message is displayed accomplish the wing slide checklist. We started our takeoff roll and at about 120 KTS; the right wing slide EICAS message illuminated. The takeoff was aborted. At 90 KTS; normal brakes were applied and we exited that runway at taxiway T. An emergency was declared and arff was called to check the brakes.

Title: B757 flight crew experienced a R WING SLIDE EICAS message at 120 KTS during takeoff; which was then rejected. This incident occurred after maintenance had attempted to correct the same problem reported by the inbound crew.
