Here are what cold solder joints on a power supply board look like:

Yup .... mine were not that severe but when I reflowed solder, all my voltages returned. I might need to replace the connectors on the Ram board. Found at least 1 pin broken and jumped it but it didnt get it running. Might need to replace the 5101 chips on it too. Found that Barry F has the connectors for it, but also a local friend might have some.

Well ... I have replaced the Ni-Cad battery and the 2 5101 chips on the Ram board. Still just getting the 1 code in the displays. Starting to scratch my head again.

Going to check the voltages at the MPU and I/O boards. Does anyone know what happens if the power is on, and either the reel bundle or hopper is removed? I know that Bally says not to do this, but I have no idea what has happened to this machine before I got it. I did get a key when I picked it up, so I know someone somewhere and sometime before I got it, has possibly done this.

There are a few of the IC's soldered to the MPU that get hot and cause problems, but I don't remember what ones.. Try sending dhellis a PM.. He repairs these boards and can tell you what ones they are. I did have one machine here over the winter that was a headache. It turned out to be that the connectors in the white plug that goes to the MPU were loose and not making a good connection to the header pins. Once I re-pinned that plug that machine ran perfect.. I made a tool out of an old header pin, so I could check each wires connector separately.. I was shocked just how loose over half of the crimp connectors were.. I have a picture of it some where. I'll post it when I find it.. Its made out of an half of a ball point pen, glued the header pin in the tip..

That tool works on the hopper plug, as well as the one to the IO.. I want to make one out of the smaller header pins, to be able to check the connector plugs going to the IO board.. Takes all the guess work out of whats good and whats not..

I cant express the thanks and gratitude to the members that devote their time to helping others on this site. We are a small bunch compared to other groups, like the big charities in size, but we are part of the few. Maybe that is what draws us all together.
Thanks to NLG for providing a place for us all to meet future friends and get and provide help tothe sme.
