I am a complete newbie, but have done my best to familiarize myself with common problems via this forum. I have acquired 2 IGT S2000 slots with 504 Rev.B boards. Both machines booted with no problems other than "call attendant" which changes to "low battery" after opening the door. The coin batteries were completely dead and the varta batteries had a little corrosion. I have removed both the varta and coin batteries. I have ordered coin battery holders to install. One board has minimal tracing damage under the varta battery, and the other board looks pretty good. Several post have mentioned Lookes as a skilled person to evaluate and repair boards. I don't know if the machines have any errors other than low battery, as I am still waiting on parts to replace the coin battery with a coin battery holder. Regardless if there are additional errors or not, I would like to have the boards evaluated and repaired to reduce the likelihood of additional problems down the line.
Could someone please ask him to message me info as to how I could send those 2 boards in the near future, as well as any other pertinent information.
Thank you
