jpm sidewinder wont boot up, reel led,s light up and motherboard status and reset led,s stay solid no flashing, memory sound and proccesor cards fitted properly anyone have any ideas? all help welcome, power supply also fine checked all voltages

seems pointless posting on this site no one seems able to help?

Hi Mate

I believe if the led is not falshing then the board/machine hasn't come out of reset properly.

1st - I would take the battery off the program card and try it without the battery on. Sometime it gets into a funny state and taking it off will reset everything.

2nd - Check the door switches are all working correctly.

Any signs of battery damage to the prog card?
Are the prog card and memory card integrated or seperate?

Let me know how you get on!

thanks for the reply mate

all boards seperate 1 memory board 1 sound board 1 processer board 1 impact1 motherboard

checked door switches continuity ok on all

tryed removing 2.4v battery on processor no effect

status light does flicker but nothing else happens

suspect processor board or motherboard, can get motherboard online 171 but cant find processor board

171 is a lot without proof thats whats wrong.

any idea's?

ps battery was dead

Hi

I have a spare impact1 mother board that you could use to test your other cards.

Where in the country are you?

that would be great,actualy found evidence of prev repair to board,although no new evidence, im in scotland troon email pgeoghegan@hotmail.com

if u can il send it straight back would be a big help

no one seems able to help?

would be a big help

Good to see you've been converted.

Hi Paul

I'm assuming that you have tried the cards in different slots on the impact board? You could leave the sound card out as that won't affect boot up!

Any signs of damage on the prog / memory cards?

Do you know if the battery is charging when in place on the card?

Is the led on the impact board flashing or solid?

Can you try another prog card? Don't think it has to even be from the same m/c assuming you can swap the chips on the card? I would have to get this confirmed!

Let me know (PS sent you an e-mail)

Proc

reset led solid, status led flashes and ends up solid 10min later

no visable damage on other boards

battery on proc board now removed

tryed moving boards and removing sound card no effect

no access to other boards to rule out either unfortunatly

im a central heating repairer and installer so if u ever have any probs in that department let me know and il return the favour cheers

paul, ps also sent u email

tryed new impact mother board thanks richard for all the help.unfortunalty not solved problem

now looking for a jpm processor board anyone have access to one?

think this must be problem through process of elimination all though im no expert

Hi Paul

Send me your prog card and I will test it for you in my machine. I see no reason why I shouldn't be able to test it even though I have a casino crazy its not like the machine knows!

Shame that the replacement impact board didn't solve your problem!

I would search e-bay for ppl selling jpm machines cheap! and ask if they will just split for parts.

that sounds good m8 il get them off to u asap just need an address m8 if u want to email me cheers.

u know what machines have they board or where to find out?

been trying to find all night only found big banker and casino crazy so far cheers

just to let you guys know

now replaced proccessor board

machine is now fully working

thanks for all the help and big thanks to richard

cheers

I have a JPM casion crazy £15jp machine.

It was working fine but now it doesn't.

the reset light is solid and the status light doesnt even light up at all.

any ideas? should i just straight replace the processor board?

any help would be great

thanks ken
