So I am perplexed...
I have been reading about Aristocrat MK6 clear/set procedures for hours. It doesn’t appear to be difficult but I am having issues.
I have 3 different .pdf instructions [see attachments] to follow but I have failed to even get started. No matter what I do I get a message on my screen that reads “NO SIGNAL INPUTâ€.
I can’t find any mention in the archives so anyone have an idea?
-
Hmmm...
The third .pdf file I am following "MK 6 Aristocrat USA Set up Tutorial" is too large to attach.
It might be in the NLG File System...

FYi…
I have a Mark 6 main board, not a XP board.
I have multiple sets of different set chips, I started with 06.03.04 but get the same results no matter the version.
My board came with “Easter Island†installed and working. My goal is/was to install “Buffaloâ€.
I had the 4 game chips on the main board and the system chips on the system board, or chip extender board. I put my 06.03.04 chips in the correct spot in the correct orientation on the system board and fire up the cabinet and can’t get past the “NO SIGNAL INPUT†screen.
I have tried different set chip versions. I have tried the chips on the main board. I have tried the chips on the system/extender board. I get the same results, "NO SIGNAL INPUT'.
If I install the game chips on the main board and the original system chips on the system board I can get either the “Easter Island†to play or the “Buffalo†game on screen but get the message that I need to clear the RAM.
I went as far as to short out the capacitors C269 C267 C266 C262 and now I get the RAM clear message on both game chips sets.
The main board on these Aristocrats are a BiTcH to get removed and installed. Someone before me [Primitive Pete] broke off both of the removal levers on the boards. I’m trying to practice a little patience.
So what am I missing???

Any bent pins on that riser board? Positive those chips are known working? (Long shot but you never know). Tried a different riser board?

Thanks for the suggestions...
I have checked and double checked all the pins on all the boards and eproms and everything looks good...
My SET chips could be suspect! That was my first thought too. I do have many different versions of Aristocrat SET chips and have tried a few different versions but get the same results. The thought had crossed my mind that I needed something other than a SET chip but none of my instructions point me in that direction. Is there a way to check my chips via an eprom programmer and a computer? Maybe I need to break down and buy some new SET chips?
I do not have another riser board withing reach. I might need to locate one just to try something different?

If you can, grab a set of 6.03.10, that'll cover everything Mk6 related.
Only way I check mine if needed is to put them on a kobetron. If it comes up with a signature it's good, if not then they're toast. I'm really not sure how you'd do it in a home setting. Do the eeproms have labels on them, and if not were they exposed long term to flurescent lighting?

I didn't even know what a Kobetron was, in a casino environment it looks like a necessary tool.
My set chips are not labeled [window is exposed] but are suppose to be fresh? I'll have to locate a different supplier and start over to eliminate that being the problem or not...
-
Uh oh, yeah if the window isn't covered up and they get a dose of UV light then they're probably wiped. If you get another set put some electrical tape over that window!
-
I got a new set of clear/set chips and I was surprised to get to the screen I expected...
So...I had a bad set of chips.
Once I got over that hurdle it was simple to set up. I couldn't have done it without the information stored in the NLG archives and jonm287 steering me in the correct direction.
Thank you!!!

Glad you got it working!
