Title: Pink Panther Vision Problem
Post by: cuda on January 15, 2017, 02:07:34 PM
So I am getting an error for the video on my pink panther vision.  I think I know whats wrong, I am assuming I do not have enough memory in the monitor.  So I have a picture of the front to show the error and I have pulled the only 2 removable card/chips out of the monitor that I can so I assume these are the Ram Memory cards, one clearly has an 8 on it and the other a 16 so I am assuming again that one is 8 mb and the other 16 mb and if I am correct, I don't have enough memory to run Pink Panther Slips, so if all my assumptions are correct, please somebody let me know where I can buy these memory cards with higher memory on them.  And if I am wrong, let me know that too.  Thanks for your help.

Yes you are correct. You need more memory. There was another member with the same problem. He said he was able to find them at a nearby computer store.

Ok still getting the same error I have changed the version chip to a 9 instead of an 11 and I have added 2 32mb cards to the monitor so I should be running more than enough memory. 


Any idea's what to do next?

I remember someone mentioning (maybe tollguy316) that too much memory can cause the same error as not enough memory. Try replacing one of the 32's with a 16. All of my visions have 48 MB.

Cuda, you should have remembered 48mb. That is what you had to do to your other Pink Panther.

Here is a power dist. board. It mounts on back of top box

Yep and what is weird is the plug off that diamond topper is a female plug and all the outlets on the power board are also female plugs so as we know in nature this just don't work  :drool04:


I have an old IGT topper I am wondering if I can't just cut the plug off it and put it on here?

Ok I install the 32 and a 16 and still getting the error and nothing on the monitor and no lights on the board.  Silly question but I am putting the notch on the cards at the bottom but I think from my past experiences they only go in the board one way, just trying to over think everything.  I know the monitor works and the battery is good because I can pull the game and put the diamond run in and it all works fine.

 For your topper you need the 4 pin plug for 24vdc and 12vdc. Check the bundle of wires at your monitor, sometimes there are extra plugs there. test with volt meter for power. orange and orange/black = 24vdc. Red and red/black = 12vdc. In order to power the dist. board it needs a 4 pin flat connector.

For your monitor problem, What chips are you trying for Pink Slip's? SB, SG, Version? Post picture of error screen. The easiest SB for visions are 248's or 380's. SB332 for pink slip, BGM 138 for top card. For 248 the version chip should be 009gx0 and 380 should be vs 0011gx1

? Maybe I have the wrong BGM because I have BGM 109 but it says Pink Slips on it?


Here is pictures of it all

Wow it looks like there are several top cards for Pink Panther and others than 109 for Pink Slips.  So I am confused if that could be causing the issue.


I am willing to try anything so if anybody has any of these other BGM cards for Pink Panther Pink Slips I would be happy to buy it from you to try.

I don't see an "error" in the first pick. Just a blank screen and "waiting for video display". Are you getting an error on your LCD screen? "Waiting for video display" is normal part of the boot sequence. The S2000 is waiting for the vision screen to boot it's program.

That is all I am getting, it sticks at that point and never goes any further.  I have let it sit for over an hour at that point.

Post by: ianmcneil68 on January 22, 2017, 12:48:20 PM
Also, through my research I found that SB332 matches up with BGM 138.

Seems like you have the wrong BGM for that SB chip. That's why it gets stuck waiting for the top screen. You need BGM138.

I could be wrong but that is what I have written down for SB332. BGM109 is for Pink Slips but I don't have record of SB's for that BGM.

What clear chip and key chip do you all use on your visions?  I am using a 224 and 45, wondered if this could be the issue at all?
Title: Re: Pink Panther Vision Problem
Post by: cuda on January 22, 2017, 02:21:51 PM
When I boot up the monitor with Double Diamond Run it works and this shows the OS system it is running and this is running with the 32 mb ram and the 16 mb ram chip in.


Let me know when one you experts on these visions is ready for a vacation in Denver  :hail:   Plenty of snow to go skiing and I will buy your lift tickets.  Just need you to stop by and do a little work on a Pink Panther  :duh:

It boots fine with that memory because the memory is not the issue. Being that BGM109 is correct for Pink Slips it may be easier to fing the correct SB. First you have to figure out which SB goes with BGM109. I hope you find it. Judging from your strips (and to confuse things further) this is info I obtained from another NLG member.


Pink Slip 2 coin buy a pay (BGM108 SB331), Pink Slip 3 coin (BGM138, SB332), and Pick a Panther 3 coin buy a pay (BGM109, SB350) go with the strips in the pic below.


I have not personally verified this information.

If this is true than I do need the BGM138 to go with the SB332 because I do have a 3 coin machine and it is Pink Slips.

To complicate things more.  On the good side the monitor is booting up, but the game is going into key conf and the buttons won't function to allow me to key the machine.  I did convert it from a 9 button 5 reel panel to a 3 reel so if you know I need to move a certain plug on the board, otherwise everything seems to plug right in and match up.  The monitor initializes but then goes to the contact attendant for main door open error.  and I am also getting a coin in error.  it goes to these errors after a few minutes when I don't key config it, because I can't without the buttons working.  Also closing the main door doesn't make the open door error go away. 


I checked the optics they are good, and plugged in.  I tried to clear and key chip it again.  when it goes to MSVERIFY - it has "START APP" my others Vision games don't say that after the MSVERIFY so that makes me think something is still off with the SB Chips and Game card.  I have an 138 and another SB332 chip coming so I will see if that will make a difference.

You have a Pick a panther right? Put SB and BGM card in it to see if it works or any other 3 reel vision you have. On these S2000's that door open often leads to bad board from Varta battery leakage.

Post by: ianmcneil68 on January 22, 2017, 05:42:58 PM
Start app is normal for my visions. I am baffled that this is the same machine that runs DD Run with no issues. Let us know how the new software works out.

Yes, APP start, then Reels spin, then waiting on monitor, please wait. Have you put the jumper on J1 on the monitor. With the jumper it will tell us/you what it is doing.

No this is the only Pink Panther game I have.  I have a Little Green Men but those are the only 2 Vision games I have.

 :Scratch-Head:  I thought you said you had DD Run  :Scratch-Head:  and it ran perfectly. So you have PP Pink Slips, Ms. Little Green Men and Double Diamond Run, correct? Have you tried Ms. Little Green Men in the same top monitor?

The DD Run is the Pink Panther, I converted the DD Run into the Pink Panther.  No I haven't tried pulling the LGM and putting it in the DD Run/Pink Panther Cabinet.

You are thinking in terms of machines and I am thinking in terms of games. I switch games in one of my visions all  the time. So, if everything works fine with one game in but not another, then you can mostly rule out the machine. The only thing you are changing is the SB, BGM (and stirps, but not necessary for testing). Has this game ever worked in this machine? If not, this may need to be linked to your previous thread. Now that you mention the conversion I seem to recall one.

Put LGM in and it works fine in that machine.  So, I think I can eliminate that it is the machine and it must be the game.

I came down sick with the flu so I have been in bed for over a week so I haven't got to mess with the Pink Panther yet.


Its on my list to do.  I have a list o things to try on the Pink including your software, a new video card, new i/o door card, new jumpers.  also been waiting for it to be warmer here in Colorado, the games don't work so well when its too cold and even though its in my garage, it gets down in the 50's even with the heat.  So 70's and above they all work better.  I hope to give it a go this week and I will let you know.

Ok I installed the new software and the game tries to boot up and the monitor starts to go but then the monitor doesn't give me the standard start up but just goes black and then I get a "Call Attendent" and the pictured error.
