Fruit Machine Chat

Hi all,

I have a vivid "connect 4" which is shouting 'hey check it out' on startup.

Of the 6 lights on the mpu5 board, the grouped 4 are all green, the halt light is off, but the status light flashes red x2, then green x 12.

alpha displays flat battery backwards

changed battery in mpu5 but no change

battery is ok ram chips getting 3.1v when machine is unpluged!

I did buy a new meter a few days before it went off could this of caused it

light goes red on opening doors so programe is runing ok
any ideas on how to clear it??


also the wife was playing in the middle of a game when the alarm started
when all chips - batteries etc on mains power!

I think it could be due to changing the sec meter but that was 2days before the alarm started maybe it only cheeks after so many games!

program card from diffrent machine says the same in connect 4
mpu from different machine with connect 4 programe card says the same

voltages from psu are right with no ripple across supply lines.

please help!

You seem to have already covered all the obvious steps already - and some of the less obvious too!
What was wrong with the SEC before it was replaced? Had it just packed up?

No just being silly and wanted one that started from all 00s
and yes I have tried puting the old one back in!

cheers
Tom.

Hmmm.
Although you jest, I have received exactly this request before now...
