Title: Bally S5500 Won't Turn On
Post by: 1337pi107 on August 01, 2021, 08:42:00 AM

Hello all,

I received a Bally S5500 from a friend that won't turn on and am hoping you guys can help me figure out how to fix it.
No error codes or anything
The 25 cent light still works 😂

I'm assuming the best place to start is the PSU, especially since the 5v breaker was popped when I first opened it.
If anybody has some insight on potential other fixes, or a good replacement for the PSU, I'd really appreciate it!
 :thank_you: :thank_you:

You can check here for a replacement PS for the 5500.

You could try to replace the caps, but cost of replacement is pretty cheap.

Jameco has good pricing and a 10% discount for new customers. You can probably grab 2 at those prices compared to the other 2 below.

Stay away from that 'auction' site, Digikey and Amazon may be an option, Jameco looks pretty good, they have been around a long time.

Lots of good info in the Bally reels forum.

Keep us posted on how things are progressing.
