Just an update this seems to be a hot page.. I got the bill validator to at least  cycle ( found a random screw jamming the gears as well the connector attached to the light by the coin reciver was put on backwards so I think that was a problem also... I think I was too excited when I got into the screen and messed the terminal ID up.. Any way to reset it or change it it first stated there was none assigned thought I was hitting 1 but guess not again I love pictures so here's where I went and what I managed to mangle

Nice.

In the picture above under the column "diagnostics", next to the bottom is "memory test". Touch, then find "eprom chksum" and "ee prom chksum". Eprom checksum will show you the games, smi #, payback %.  EE prom checksum will show you the settings of your machine. These are the settings you set when you do a clear and reset. Best you take picture of these screens before you do a clear. You will have a reference starting point that way.  I, and others, would like to see the above screen shots.

I think you are close to getting the current board running. You will need another mpu board if you want to run regular or known games available as in the casino(non demo eproms).

Thanks again Richard! I'll attach what I have hopefully I didn't erase any memory from anything ... I also order a MPU and will be 2-3 weeks! So I'll attach what I see and hopefully I didn't more damage but it is nice having back up when troubleshooting!! I'm not seeing any percentages or any numbers... It just saying it ok or not... Am I in the right spot?
Thanks as always!!

You are in the right spot. Your screens look nothing like mine. Anyone else have screens like these? I think your board has been modified extensively. I will take some pics of my screens to show you difference.  But have to take my kitty outside now for a play date, lol.

Ok great haha you can't neglect kitty mine reminds me daily! I hope replacing the board will be a good fix and I have a feeling your right with the MPU board I was tempted to eliminate the wires and put chips prongs back on board but I will leave it ... I'm also nervous I don't have all the harnesses because I did a test where it checked like external sources so I'm taking it like printer bill validator thinks like that it said I couldn't communicate with any... Hoping new MPU board will def help and hope MPU board is a good one haha :)
Happy Easter!

Here's pic's of my eprom & ee prom.

Have you tried the saferam clear? In order for me to do a saferam clear I use clear chip in p-10, and turn switches 7-8 on sw1.

Just a guess on my part. My and reg. machines do not have a choice of saferam clear. I kinda think you don't need a clear chip, but like you, I would wait for clear chip before ya try.

Hey just an update... Seem to have went backwards I'm not sure what chip I messed up but no screen comes on just a blue screen and can here something flickering or ticking constant. Not sure what I did but ya no screen now just blue... The "replacement board I got looks like is was found in the bottom of a lake so I'm not putting that in(waste of $100) I found another one online that looks good and says it was working when pulled from the machine not sure if I want to dump any more into this any tips?

If you decide you need another board, let me know. I have some from V7200s I could sell. Tested, working, new battery, and software available if you need it.

Just re-read your posts, and it sounds like you have a leg bent, broke off, or folded under...might want to get your bent screwdriver out and start checking legs.

And not sure where you buy your parts, but you should be able to return it if it was guaranteed? I think all of the vendors on here honor returns of a part of it doesn't work for you.

What model is the machine you're working on? I'm guessing it's a V7000 or V7200 (I can't remember the difference).

That sounds like a serial number, but whatever. I jumped in late to this post and maybe I need to go back and read the prior 50 comments to see what you've done and haven't done. If the latest MPU you installed has bent legs on software, the MPU is not necessarily the issue, it's the BENT LEGS.

It is indeed the bent legs I was being silly messing around late trying to swap chips to see if that would make different games work... Ended up mashing 3 bad and didn't notice

Well, straighten them out and see where you get. I wouldn't guess you'd come across 3 bad boards (in one machine). Now, is this the same software as you started with?mdodnt some guys see "Demo" on it?
