IGT Double Bonus Poker - Beginner Help

[TheR00ster]

Hey All,


I just inherited a 20-yo video poker machine from my in-laws that needs a little TLC.  I've tinkered with electronics before (I'm a computer professional), but never anything like this.  Anyway, I need to know where to start.  Currently, there is a "CALL ATTENDANT" "Low Battery" message and some Googleing and a quick meter test tells me I need a new battery on the MB (3.5 v Lithium Ion), so that is on it's way here, but besides that I need manual, so I know what to do once I get up and running with the new battery.  Does anyone have a manual you can shoot me?  Also, I did a quick search on here for more beginner kind of info (what is the keyed jackpot switch on the side of the unit for and how, what's the little button on the MB box used for and how).


I've attached some pix for reference.


Any help is greatly appreciated!

Additionally, it looks like the battery I have coming is a 3.6 v Li.  Is that extra 1/10 v going to fry my board? or will it be fine?

3.6v is fine. It will not fry your board.


The lock on the side of the machine is for your jackpot reset key (little brass key). This is used for Attendant functions, like "Keying off" a big win/hand pay.


Let me see what we can find for you. I just ran across some docs that may help you. There will be a couple things you need to do after replacing the battery.

Thanks in advance.  Will I need a clear chip you think?

[CVslots]

No clear chip is needed for a Battery change. Should just need to turn the Attendant key, and close the door. I will get you some instructions...

[TheR00ster]

Haven't seen a PM or anything CVslots.  Just making sure I didn't miss it...

[CVslots]

Well, the instructions I "thought" I had for you turned out to be crap! They were from the old site and, although the thread was titled "PE+ Reset", were actually S+ instructions!! No biggie, just install your new battery and follow the instructions on the screen or post back for help.  It's not real difficult.

[TheR00ster]

No problem.  I appreciate you checking anyway.


Actually, after I posted that, I installed the new battery and figured out the CMOS reset through trial and error.


Thinking about what I can do next...

Are you having issues that would indicate you need to do something next?

[TheR00ster]

Nope, I'm loving my new machine! 


I was stuck in the statistical data screen and couldn't figure out how to get out, but I rolled the dice and powered off and on again and VIOLA!


Already want another machine...




Anyway if you come across that manual, I still want to get a hold of a copy, so let me know.


Thanks!
