As long as they are the same type MPU you can swap them. Meaning if they are both 500 series boards or both 1270 series boards. You may have to swap both the SB and SG chips to actually get it to work and will need to key through a couple ram errors to get it to play. Even if you don't get that far you should be able to tell if it at least makes a difference. What type MPU do the games use? A 1270 board with a dead or bad green battery will do weird things and a 500 board with a leaky green b?attery will cause problems also. One another line, a netplex down message can be a lot of things but you might try starting thegame with the BV transport removed and see if that helps

I believe they are both 1270,they are physically the same with the half board on top covering the green battery.
Even before this problem the Netplex message would come up but go away after it syncs with the top box.
I will try the board switch out later and let you know the outcome.
Thanks,Dave

Problem Solved.The 1270 Board is bad.Switched out with Tabasco board and put the Bucks Ahoy chips in and it's working.
As Cowboygames said,I had to clear a few errors and reboot a couple of times (and put some cash in) but it's running well.
I guess I will have to hunt down a replacement 1270 board for my Tabasco.



[/size]Before I had this board issue I had an occasional problem with the top box bezel.It would start going haywire even with no wins and eventually quit working.[size=78%]
[/size]It would work for a while after a cold start but seemed like when it warmed up it would act up again.I'm guessing there is some kind of controller in the top box that[size=78%]
[/size]works the LED's,hopefully it is a stand alone plug and play module that I can switch out.[size=78%]
[/size]Thanks for your help,Dave[size=78%]

cowboygames:
Check the green battery on that "bad" MPU. If it's dead or shot you can repair the board by replacing the battery or just leavingthe game turned on for a bit to see if it takes a charge. Either way, the board won't work if that battery doesn't have a charge, but the battery charges while the game is turned on
