Newbie,MAV-500 Watchdog reset

[61Wally]

I have a 50 Lions machine that had dead batteries, I replaced them and everything on the screen shows “CLOSED”, except for this  “WATCHDOG RESET” message. This is a New machine to me and I could use some assistance. I’ve been reading the manual and it just talks about what watchdog means. I didn’t see anything on the forum about this. Do I need to do some type of Clear/Programming? Thanks for All the great help that I get from You folks.

I guess that’s the cabinet #. It’s a MK-6 (WOLF RUN).

Watchdog Reset only shows up if the game crashed or randomly rebooted, a machine normally shows Power Up rather than Watchdog Reset. The message will disappear as soon as the game is played.

Sure you're not thinking of Timber Wolf? AFAIK Wolf Run is an IGT game.

My mistake, Working on several machines. It is called “50 LIONS”. On the display it shows the “Stacker Attached, Watchdog reset, Power Up, Logic Door Closed-Main Board, Door Closed-Drop Box, Door Closed-Main,  Cashout Voucher Printed-$20.00, Door Closed Cash Box(Bill Acceptor), Stacker Attached. and then after awhile it goes to a different screen “ “Game Over Insert Credits, Play Now”. I’ve looked at diagnostics and nothing is showing bad/disabled.
This is my first Aristocrat and I’m still reading a lot about them.

FIXED!!! THANK YOU HAIHACHI_73. After reading Your message again, I replaced the cash boxes,(3rd one) and everything reset and it fired up and is running.
BEFORE I go look at the next Aristocrat machine, I’m going to test these other 50+ UBA CASH CANS. Find the bad ones and off to the recycle bin they go!!!
THANKS again for ALL YOUR HELP. TAKE CARE.
