It is a TATUNG And these are ALL the #'s on back:TATUNG 43/2010206267 Rev. DL32LD50M2W53B02[/size]To be honest if it's the game or the monitor, I don't know? When I power up the game, I first hear the bill (Cash box) setup, then it goes thru the reels spinning (I assume for calibration?) then the digital displays show ALL zero's in the "paylines", line bet", "credits" windows, then stops, with the reel lights flashing, but NO panel buttons lit.... the TOP tower lights flash on & off, the white light flashes about once per second and the blue light below flashes slightly faster, approx. twice per second. At NO TIME does ANYTHING show on the monitor, no text, no setup diagnostics, NOTHING....

Ok, here's the text above in "readable size"

How do you have digital displays for paylines, line beet and credits, if you have a V32??? Can you post a picture of your game? Most V32's I know are transmissive games with no displays or strictly a Video slot.
As a quick diagnostic, you could plug a laptop to the slot monitor and see if anything lights up. Also when you power up the cabinet, open the door and look to see if a power led on the monitor is lighting up. Also check the power cable into the monitor is not loose.
-
Here are a few pix of my machine. I believe it is a Bally S9000, may not be a V32, that is the monitor size 32"
I am a complete newbie.... Sorry
-
It's an alpha S9000 Elite with digital tower. You can just connect a regular widescreen computer monitor to the vga output of your mpu box to see what is going on. There's obviously some kind of error being displayed which you can't see because you don't a monitor to view it.
Does the top box "swing open?" You may want to check and see if nothing is loose, especifically the power cable to the monitor.
-
Yes it does swing open and I have checked all the connections. There are like four power units or boards mounted to the back
of the monitor. The one main unit, at the bottom, has been re-capped, because it DID have some caps blown, but it did not fix
the issue. That's the ONLY thing the owner/tech has done. He was here back in June & saw blown caps & took it back to Arizona,
re-capped it? sent it back to me by mail & I installed it. NO HELP.
-
I wish he would have taken the entire monitor with him at the same time,
but he coulldn't figure out how to remove it. I believe it's only 3 screws.
it has them marked on the back with yellow labels WITH arrows. Kind of
SCARY he didn't know how???
-
Do you have any lights on your monitor? Green or Amber or Red?
Did you hook up a PC monitor to make sure you have a signal coming from the MPU?
I'm also confused on what caps were replaced.. I assume on the monitor?
-
It Has more than 3-screws. You have been on here before with this and other. As stated -Just take your vid. output cable and hook it up to something-that is powered. You have a bad vid. output on machine (brain box) or monitor issues. I have only fixed about fifty or so of these type monitors. This is why you have it because you probably payed little to nothing for it?. -Top monitor -lcd, touch screen,invertor,pwr supply, vid./scaler board etc.
-
$2,800.00 is MORE than a little of NOTHING.... PLUS Delivery and Set-up of $200.00. it is a 2010 machine.
Yes I have been on here before and have been trying for 7 months to get warranty repair/assistance from the
company in Arizona I got it from... The Monitor comes out with 3 screws... TRUST ME! I did hook up my laptop
to the video output cable and get nothing on screen.
-
I am in Arizona and what company did this to you? Also did you verify that you have any lights coming on the monitor
-
This helps and verify- green or red on back of monitor. As this looks kike a output issue from your Brain box/cpu/processor. Possibly video card on box depending on what you have. You would still get red if the output was bad in most cases. When it comes on with door open it would be green then prob. go red after a bit.
-
No "coolwavepic" Charles, I DO NOT have ANY lights on the monitor.
The caps that were replaced, are in the lower box (power supply) that
is mounted on the lower back portion of the monitor, when you swing
it open, to look at the back, it is the box at the very bottom. I get nothing
when I hook up my laptop monitor to the vga output.
-
Take a picture of your cpu (front). and the little Led's I speak of are on the back of the video board on the back of the monitor visable thru a metal rectangular cut out. Plug your other source Directly into the cpu as the cable leading from it to the monitor is spliced at a junction on left side.
-
Here are pics of the CPU front and Backside of monitor. NO LIGHTS lit on Back of monitor. ALL green lights are lit on CPU.
-
Looks like a 1-gig box with dual vid. card. The dual vid. card May be your culprit as you said you plugged directly into it and got nothing as far as vga/vid. Tucking in for the night as it is later here but looks like a easy fix. You should still -with door open and led's visable be able to see a light on -on power up on the back of monitor. You cand take one out and set on floor without anything hooked to it and it would does this. Look at your equipment closer.
-
hook up a PC vga monitor to your mpu, where the black video cable is connected and see if you get an image on your vga display. Let the machine boot up and see if it throws an error that can help us figure out why your machine won't play. It is possible since it doesn't see a monitor, it is tilting with a monitor not present error. Hooking up a pc vga monitor would verify that, if that is the case.
-
OK, Thanks. I will try that today.
-
Ok, I picked up a VGA cable today & hooked it up with a 27" monitor, directly to the MPU VGA output.
NOTHING on the monitor, no text, no please wait, etc.... I also DID check the back side of the actual
machine monitor, while booting and did not get ANY LED, red or green on the video board/card. The
machine boots to a point, then after it shows; credits, line bet, etc. it stops with the reel lights flashing
and NO Panel Button lights. Also the tower candle lights flash...WHITE (top light) flashes approx. once
per [/size]second and the BLUE (bottom light) flashes approx. twice per second. ALSO, ALL three green LED's above the power switches are lit and the ATX power LED is lit.
-
White, I have read all your posts. Do this. Pwr off, rear of monitor led's visable-pwr on and look for a green or red led then it will go out- on initial pwr up. If you used just any lcd monitor to use as a output (vga type) and got nothing then you have a bad video card. Let us know. Make sure your os card is in top slot and and game cf in bottom. You may have messed with them-?.
-
Look at the caps on the video card. I've fixed at least 8 of them by re-capping. It is very obvious if the caps are bad on these.
-
Ok. I powered the machine down. Opened the top (swing out monitor). Powered the machine back up and
watched the entire time of booting. There was NOT, at anytime, an LED of any color, red, green or amber,
that lit up ANYWHERE on the back of the monitor. I can see the board with all the switches & the LED
clearly, and the LED did not come on.
OK, So you are saying the caps on the video card are probably bad. I am assuming the video card is inside
the MPU, that's where the DUAL VGA outputs are. SO, I have a few questions. Do I have to remove the entire
MPU or just the video card? How hard is is to remove? It is a Dual Output Video Card, Bally P/N 200951. How
much would a "new" card be? As I am NOT good with electrical stuff or soldering. How hard is it to replace?
THANKS to ALL who have been helping me with this problem. I don't reaaly want to drive the monitor to
Arizona (two hours one way) to have it rebuilt and find out that was not the problem. My "favorite" machine,
THIS ONE, has been down since June 21, 2015 (RIDICULOUS) and I cannot get a call or text or email returned
from the Tech Dept??? where I purchased the machine from.. THANK YOU ALL!!! :thank_you:
-
It's like a PC. You slide the mpu out of the cage and you will see the only card installed inside the mpu. The price on the cards vary, and it can be as much as $150 and as low as $45 for untested ones.
My guess is your monitos is bad as well. Unplug the vga cable from the card or the monitor and then power up the system. There should be some buttons on the back of the monitor. Try hitting the menu button to see if you get something on screen. Or look at the screen shortly after you power up with no vga cable connected, on 90% of monitors you will get a message that says No Signal.
So am I right in understanding that you did hook up a pc monitor to the dual vga card and nothing came up on the monitor?
-
OK, part of the issue has been fixed. Yesterday, I removed the cover from the power supply.
on the back of the monitor and found that the connector (that comes from the power cord
socket) INSIDE the housing, had not been plugged in, after the re-capping and installation
of the power supply. THAT explains not getting an LED on back of the monitor. I now have
the green LED, but still not getting text or anything on the monitor, so as mentioned, I guess
it narrows it down to the "brain box" or video card.
-
Yes, rickhunter, that's correct, I did hook up a monitor the the VGA output on the video card and got NOTHING.. No text, no message, nothing.
-
Remove the video card and check for bulging caps.
Without the video card, hook up the monitor to the MPUs VGA port. You won't be able to load the game, but you should be able to see the boot up. You need the video card for the game to load vertically, but at least you can test your monitor to make sure you get an image.
