Hello everybody let me start off by saying I am new to posting here but everyone is so awesome with helping I couldn't resist joining up lol. I want to say ahead of time thank you to everyone for your help, I have never posted here but I have read through a lot on here and you guys have been the best help ever and so informative.
Now on to the problem. I recently purchased a slant top Game Maker I believe its a 7200?? Anyways it would power on and boot fine/let me go into all the games ect but would not give credits for bills or coins.(However bill acceptor would take the bills fine same ad coin acceptor). The previous owner told me the bill validator and coind validator had both just been changed but the machine was never reset. He gave me a p-10 clear chip and I tried to clear but after putting the clear in p-10 and dips 7and8 up the screen would only show "reset dip switches, restart machine" I never got any menus or any other messages. So I proceeded to shut down, removed clear chip and reset dips back to off restarted and still no menus or anything. So I tried to do a clear today with all section 1 dips up with clear chip in p-10 and I also removed the battery jumper for 30 seconds before re-installing everything. I powered up and now I only have a blue screen that flashes with a small white rectangle in the top left corner of the screen. I have checked the battery voltage and its reading a steady 3.6V so I believe it is still good. I have even taken out the clear chip and switched all dips back to off but I am still just getting the blue flashing screen :( I am thinking maybe the clear chip was no good since it wouldn't let me get into the menus but I am not sure. I will try to post some pictures too. Thank you guys and have a great day.

Here is a pic of the machine and of the screen right before the fashing blue screen clear. I dont know if it is any good info for you guys but the bottom right corner of the screen did say "power reset" before the clear that made the blue screen.

I think I am running 24 mains too if that helps.
-
Since I am having trouble loading some more pics I will add some info.
M0 main is V7M1002F0004-24
M1 main is V7M4002F0004-24
G0 is V7G10000004-10
G1 is V7G20000004-10
I hope that will help for a little bit until I can get more pictures to load.

Also I did run a check on my power supply and it does seem to be putting out the right voltages too just FYI.

Here is what the screen looks like now.

Just wanted to let everyone know the problem is solved. It appears that I was givin a bad clear chip. Got a new one today and she cleared perfectly. My only question now is that my DBV 200 is taking in the bills right but not giving credits to the machine. Does anyone have any suggestions?
-
Is it just taking bills and not doing anything, or is it spitting out the coins?
-
Its taking the bills just not giving any credits on the screen. In the diagnostics menu under bill acceptor test it sais
BILL ACCEPTOR STATE
repeat message 10
BILL ACCEPTOR PROTOCOL
invalid protocol
BILL METER
"BLANK:
DENOMINATION
25c
Communication Device Error
I just did a clear today and have it set up as a jcm dbv. It is a dbv 200 but thats about all I know. I am also not sure if it ever worked to begin with as I am the new owner of the machine. Oh and bill validator has "red" lights showing on the inside where bill goes but like I said it does take the bills fine I just dont get any credits for them lol.

Hey just wanted to add some more info. The dbv200 is a 44/45, does anyone know if i should be running dip switch 10 off or on with the dbv200? I know if off its supposed to be a 44 and on its a 45 but I dont know what it should be for my game maker. I also just got the coin validator up and running along with the hopper assembly and my only problem is that on a payout I am getting over pay of about 1-3 quarters per 10 coin payout and about 4-7 quarters extra per 20 coin payout. Anyone have any suggestions on what to look for to remedy this problem?
