I'm still having problems here. Any help is appreciated.

I replaced all of the buttons with the Spin buttons... and now I went back to using the original buttons the machine came with. I cleaned the original buttons and got rid of their gunk before reinstalling them. The plunger is clearly making contact every time with the microswitch, so that's not a problem.

The machine is not recognizing every time that I press the buttons. It happens too frequently where the buttons are not registering and it ruins the fun. All of the buttons are horrible and really hit or miss. Again, the Spin buttons did the same thing, and I installed those in hopes they would fix the problem.

It takes tons of presses of the Service button to get it to add free play, so annoying. It takes tons of pressing to Bet One credit, then tons more to press it again. Not as horrible with the Spin Reels or Bet Max buttons, but they're having issues too.

I really need some advice on what to do next because it's too frequent and very irritating. My other S2000's buttons are sensitive and work wonderfully. Never once ever had a problem with any of the buttons. They behave perfectly.

What could be causing the buttons to not be recognized every press by the machine, even though the buttons are clearly making contact with the microswitches?

Thank you for answering! Not sure how the site works, but did a $50.00 donation tonite, so not a full contributor and cant answer your message thru here. I copied your email address (i think) and responded that way. Hope you receive. Many thanks for telling me what i need, if you can fulfill that would be great.

Sorry, i posted in wrong place. it's a Bally S9000, not an alpha

Hi All, Not sure of which Alpha I have and need clear card after replacing 3 batteries. Came aboard as an old ATM tech, so replacing batteries not a problem even if soldered to board. But, right now feel like a pretty big dummy! Not sure which Bally Alpha I have and after getting notice on screen when powering up, a ram error after installing 3 new batteries. Hope the picture attachments and someone kind enough may help me.
Which version Alpha i have and version of clear card needed? Thanks much!

My Triple diamonds bill transporter at power up use to cycle and has stopped, only clicks now, and ideas?

Just some thoughts... I remember my S+ bill mech making a bad noise when initializing once when the cash can wasn't fully seated.  It that's not it, I'd pull the transport and inspect for a jam, binding or possibly a missing gear tooth?
