Need help here...... The machine plays good for awhile then if I try to add more dollars (before I run out of credits)
Call attendant (only one) will show up, When I try to clear It with the Audit Switch, the proper screen comes up (accounting, out of service,history etc.......)
The main problem I have Is when I touch the screen to return to game nothing happens, You can touch It till you are sore but, nothing....
It works good If you don't mess with It (after shutting It down and restart....) Does that problem sound familiar to anyone In the land.....
-
Have you tried doing a Full Clear on this using the clear card needed depending on your os and set it up again and tried.
-
No, I haven't but I will as soon as I look at the OS and figure out where I can get a clear card...This machine Is fairly new and fairly new to me...S+ Is mostly what I have been working on, I know these are different...Not much experience with Alpha Slant....I could use some guidance.....No hurry since it's labor day weekend and I will be working on It slowly until I learn more about It......
by the way where do you look for the OS configuration?......MPU board?.....Roy
-
I just looked at the forum response you gave just below me and got some good Info..To excersize my knowledge......Roy
-

Star, Sorry about they delay. On new games and problems esp. on some of the newer ones you don't know where they came from etc. so assume nothing. You would need a 320 clear for it to go in and set the game back up. You will also need to know what is needed to do this and how to do it if you have never done this. From your post looks like accounting issues in settings -that you cannot change without clearing and setting up. Also Some bv's are set a certain way as well depending on what you have--Have no idea. wba,mei --etc. Just don't know exactly what you have. Happy "Labor-Day"-- :propeller: . Pictures would help of what you have also for myself and other many smart folks here. (Guts)

Well....that pretty much sums [size=78%] it up...[/size] :rotfl: :rotfl:
-
Does the touch screen work at all? If not then check the USB connections from the touch screen to the MPU. If the touch screen does work... is it calibrated correctly (if you touch other parts of the screen, do the buttons work)?
-
Star you actually need a 312 Clear
31x OS = 312 Clear
32x OS = 320 Clear
33x OS = 335 Clear
When you get the Call Attendant, open the Main Door, press the White Test Button on the MPU, when the Test Menu Shows what errors are showing in the top right corner of the screen
-
I don't have much exposure to this Alpha slot, When sw key is turned it says calibrate screen, (touch x to calibrate) that works some time...Turning the sw key to exit It shows the menu on left for returning to game and that is where it dead ends....Touch screen don't work after that.... I agree I am having accounting Issues....That is the only problem I'm having that locks up the machine,
I tightened all the plugs going from and into the mpu and everywhere else...
I will try and post some pics on here of what I am struggling with...
In the meantime I will look for 320 clear card...
The BV head Is WBA 10-ss and Transport Is WBA 13-ss.....That came with the machine and works good when..Cash Can is good,
all these were tested on another machine...
General note: The touch screen will not release when touched 99% of the time...(touch x to calibrate works , now and then)
but can't get back to game touch screen locks up.....
Does anyone know where to possibly purchase a 317,320 clear card off hand??
...Roy...
-
Starcrest, you only need a 312 Clear for use with your 317 OS and one of the fine vendors on this site should be able to assist
You keep turning the Jackpot Reset Switch on the side which takes you into the Attendant Menu
Locate the White Test Button on the MPU which is located on the bottom, right of the VGA connection and left of your CF Cards
When you get your Call Attendant, open the Main Door, press the Test Button and see what errors you have listed in the top right corner of the screen
-
Is your Call Attendant Error in a blue or brown box on screen?
-
I put the card back in and turned on power and this is far as I can go , accepts no bills, pressing test sw does nothing,
The pics aren't the best but this is what stuck on......I can't get to Call Attendant no matter what.
cannot get the back to game touch to work...
-
Backplane Is blue....
-
I guess I don't know how to send pitures It came out with a garbled mess..I will try again.....
-
maybe this pic will work...
-
Ok, This picture is of the problem I'm having...Cannot get any further with this frame...It locks up...
-
This is the Attendant Screen and not the Test Screen Menu
When you see a Call Attendant error, normally when you open the Main Door the box which shows the Call Attendant message will now display the actual reason for the Call Attendant
If it does not show then you would enter the Test Screen (Not the Attendant Screen) if it still does not show I would enter the All Event Log and see what happens prior
-
Ok, All Good up to now.... I got the call attendant $.20.... finally I turned the Audit SW and It cleared. Now machine Is working ....
But before that I retightened the OSB.0 plug and reset the cash can (pulled It out and re-inserted It )
All good... for now (If It ain't too broke leave It alone) I also noticed when I move the Cash Can door the BV doesn't work...
So, I taped It shut , maybe I have another more simple problem....
-
FYI starcrest, if you reduced your picture size to about 1920 x 1080 or less they will turn out better. Also on a reduced size when you double click on the picture they tend to look clearer and not fuzzy.
And now back to your regularly scheduled program. :propeller:
-
Thanks Ron, I'm using my Wife's laptop and I need more experience on this thing, Must be the senior years getting to me....
...Roy...

The cash can door has a switch. That is why when it's half open, the dbv won't work. You can disable the switch by removing it from the actual swith and just connecting both ends together. A lot of people do this to avoid the open DBV cash can door open error.
-
Hey Rick, I was just sitting here thinking of how to do that.......Are those wires Red and Green...Possibly?
-
I don't have a cinevision, so the wire colors don't really mean anything. Basically you find the switch that gets activated when you open and close the dbv can door and remove those wires from the switch and then just join them together.
-
For what it is worth, I just cleared a os-317 with a 320. Guess my variables were good on what was in the box.
-
What BIOS are you running with the 317 OS
-
807 bios use 312 clear with 317 os
809 bios use 320 clear with 322 thru 326 os
300 bios use 335 clear with 336 os
There are clears that will work in other combinations but these are the ones I know that work.
-
Thanks, Opman --If it works-Then Sheet --it works. As I Knew but Thanks for sharing. Now--They can all try it -when needed. - :agreepost: :1: .
-
Hi 777Sizzler, can you tell me what BIOS you are using with your 317OS and works with the 320 Clear
-
Hey guys, My computer locked up on me Couldn't make a move...
I will look and see what type BIOS this machine has and hope I can find a 320 or whatever It takes....
Roy
-
I can't get on the screen ....I need to find another way to see what BIOS I'm running....
-
Pull out the mpu tray and look at the BIOS chip, it will be the long rectangular one that is on a socket. There should be a label on it indicating what it is.
-
I can't get on the screen ....I need to find another way to see what BIOS I'm running....
I am confused by this post and want to help as much as I can... But is your touch screen going bad? Also this IS NOT A CINEVISION... Its just a S9000E.
You should be able to see what BIOS you have in the DIAGNOSIS screen of the Service Menu. Are you not able to touch?
-
Right, I can touch all day long but, Nothing happens......I can't get to return to game In attendant mode or accounting or out of service...etc.........It's a S9000e....I still need to find the BIOS to go from there......
right now I put It on the back burner until I can get others fixed.....
-
I was a little conffused also as I thought this was marked topic solved- :Scratch-Head: . The os/clear etc. should have nothing to do with touch screen issues. I delivered some of my alphas last week that I tried the 320 on a 317 os. So I could not pull and look. By fact and law you would NEED a 312 clear on a 317os. There are show bios chips etc. that allow diff. things. I have had many machines not just alpha where there have been touch screen issues.

Just to make sure I am clear, have you turned the RESET KEY twice to calibrate the monitor? If your touchscreen is dead, RAM CLEARING may not help.
-
coolwave, Your in-box is full and you cannot recieve pms, You pm'd me earlier.
-
I agree, Clear will not help at this point...I will go back to the machine at a later date and let you know how It turned out....
