Fruit Machine Chat

I have finally got the machine running. Barcrest had sent me the wrong bin file for it.

Someone has given me a new Rob Da Bank pic chip - same code on sticker. Machine now uploads program from CF card when red button pressed but then says "Remove CF Card"
and then.....

Alarm 52-36, No Characteriser, No ID Chip

Anyone got any ideas where to go from here?

Buzzer I think you might have found the problem, but the switch is missing on my machine. i can see the two holes in the cabinet wall where it probably was and there is a 2 x 2 connector hanging there with 3 wires (all black) in it. If I could attach a switch it might work but which 2 wires? Photo a...

Thanks, yes, front door is off and top door open. Wires to switches look undisturbed.

'm trying to get my old (Barcrest MPU5) Rob Da Bank going after it was stored for 6 months, but on starting it alarmed and said Alarm 52-36, No Characteriser, No ID Chip. It was fine when stored. I called Barcrest support who said it needed reflashing from a CF card and sent (sold) me the file. I lo...
