red light in picture does change to green quick then back to redreelman wrote:Most stuff can be changed, if only we know what it is you're after. Monty Python, if my memory serves me right, is an MPU5 based machine. Perhaps loading up some photos of what you think you need may be a good start.
The fault LED could be down to a duff driver board, and not the LED itself.

Glad to know my memory is still working ok. It is indeed an MPU5 based machine. The MPU5 is easily replaced, but be sure to take out the game card held in the middle of it, and to pop it into your new MPU5.
However, if you wait a while, someone else here may be able to give you more advice concerning the red LED that illuminated, which could save you changing the MPU5.
Have you checked the power supply, which is located behind the lower door? This is more likely to have blown in the damp.

no i ain,t check it but will.found some books inside game information(engineering info)its got about flashing error codes a full table of these codes can be found in the machine service manual but ain,t got one..red light flashes twice and green once if anybody can help..reelman wrote:Glad to know my memory is still working ok.

You've got the latest MPU5 power supply here. Some of the earlier ones had fuses on them that were prone to breaking their holders ~ not the actual fuses themselves. Your power supply is much better than these old ones.
Without wanting to talk the bleeding obvious, there's an on/off switch on this newer power supply, which many people overlook.
As for the connections, it does have just the one red/orange connection, plus the green earth cable of course, which should be secured to the post in your picture with a nut.

Hi I have the exact same problem on my monty python flying circus fruity, just turned it on for the 1st time in a long while and i have the LED's on the boards but no lights or power to the fruity (you know when it 1st starts the reels go crazy etc)
does anyone have an answer here? do i need a new cpu? or a new board where the red light flashes?
Any help would be appreciated greatly.
