Title: Bally Alpha S9000 Wild 7's
Post by: tom1976 on September 20, 2019, 11:12:45 PM

hey fellas, I have a bally s9000 5 reel wild 7's machine that showed a process fault = game manager (833) in a red box and won't boot up all the way. I have researched this on the forum but have not seen anything on it. also noticed status pending door open mv in a blue box a few times which I checked all the door switches and they seemed to be working. just curious if anyone has ever had this on the bally 9000s before. I have checked a few things like the mpu batteries, cables switches and connections. below I have posted pictures of the problem on the screen, the two CF cards and a picture of the machine. i'm thinking it probably gonna have to do a clear on it, to get it back right. thanks for any inspiration on this.

When you turn the Attendant key switch does it clear the message and reboot?

Well, got up today, turned my machine on and now the dang top monitor ain't working. I guess i'll try hooking up a pc monitor and see if the mpu board is putting out a signal. Thanks for any help fellas.

Check the battery on the back plane and do a clear?

where is back plane at Side? I just know how to work on my igt S2000s. I've never had to play with my S9000 bally before. I don't even have a clear card for the bally S9000. Thanks for responding.

When you remove the MPU , the backplane will be on the back wall.  Battery is mounted near the top center area of the backplane.

checked the battery and it had over 3 volts so I guess I will try to find a clear card for it. Thanks for the info.

Got the monitor back, using a computer vga cable, looks like i'm about to clear this Bally S9000 for the first time (gotta find the right clear card)  since I've had it. the only thing I know left to do. Thanks Sunrise Side for the help. will post if I get it fixed.

With door open,  push the very small test button on the front of the MPU. Should see a menu screen and in the upper right will be a list of errors,  if there is any.

I got my Bally S9000 Wild 7s machine back going, must have been a blimp, with video driver, we just got it back going by using a clear card purchased from RB. Thanks RB and also Thanks Sunrise Side for info pertaining to my problems. fixed in under a hour not bad for a first timer on my Bally. Love this forum. Thanks Gentlemen. :hail:
