Title: Bally Alpha S9 problem after changing batteries and question about clear card
Post by: mlwood77 on March 04, 2015, 07:58:21 PM

I have seen this is a common topic with this machine. I have a Bally Alpha S9 Devil and Diamonds. I changed all three batteries in this machine and now when the machine boots it will show the quick bios screen, then go to the Bally screen with the progress bar at the bottom, after 100% it will go to the starting kernel screen. It will show the list of items "installing" and will say can't find game config, loading defaults, then the screen will go gray and the machine will not finish booting up. Turning the reset key has no effect. The game worked fine before the battery change as well. I believe the ram needs to be cleared. Is this correct? If so does anyone have a set of cards they wish to sell? I believe my bios is 807 with 317 OS Thank you for any help

Michael

Yes, changing the batteries will make the nvram go corrupt.  You need to clear and re-setup

Thank you for the reply and confirmation, I believe I need a 312 clear card is this correct and where can I find one? I have looked around and was unable to locate one for sale. Thanks for your time and help
