Are your batteries good? Coin battery if it's a 500 series MPU, both coin and green battery if it's a 1270

That was my next check ....soon as I find my meter ....no battery errors when the machine was running.....

Also make sure every board and connector is fully seated/connected.

Double check your setting in 7.1 if you can change it to the correct one. or use the key chip to enable the menu and change it.

Replaced coin battery ....just to be sure .....don't have a meter handy to check green battery ......I'm thinking that is what it is .....its giving me type mismatch or stacker door open ....checked all for loose connections,reset I/O boards etc ......Its not saving settings when I set Type,coin denom etc...

Just for sh!ts and grins try swapping your ram chips to each others sockets. I had a 504 board with a similar issue and it worked for a while though it did end up ultimately failing and I had to replace the board. Also, while you have the MPU out make sure your SB and SG chips are seated well. Go so far as to remove them and reinsert them snugly

Reseated SB & SG chips .......no change ..what Ram chips are you talking about?
Board is a 1270 with enhanced
SB - 100927
SG's - 552
Version - X1
DSP - 0002

So you do have a 1270 board. Maybe post a picture. The green battery has to have and hold a charge for the game to run

Checked green battery reads 2.50 v .......Coin battery is fine ....I will take the board to Batteries + and get a new battery and then see what happens

Update ....changed green battery ,checked voltage on both ....batteries good ...I am still getting a machine type error ,I have checked settings and everything is good there ..any suggestions ? if this helps ..there is a 1 shown in the single line of the 9 line display and a 1 shown in the Total bet display ...there are no credits on the machine .......

If your NEW green Batt. is not fully charged (3.6V) you may have to leave machine an hour or so to charge, then reboot.

After installed tested and read 3.6 - 3.7 ..machine booted up but is still giving me all kinds of errors ..the same errors before I changed the battery
Cleared machine and key chip to set options but seams to be not saving denom options or saving machine type ...thus giving me the machine type error................Now giving me stacker door open error ....everything is seated and closed

LINDAM · « **Reply #12 on:** July 13, 2014, 06:18:38 PM »

Some times a stacker error will clear by removing and re-seating the cash can. other errors I have had clear by open and close the main door SEVERAL times.

Tried all that with no change ........what would the machine do if a trace was burnt on the board ......I was really careful when I soldered the battery in and paid attention not to disturb the area around the battery ....what would the machine do if one of the leads of the battery was not making contact ...just throwing some ideas out there

Look at the pins on your legacy adapter board and your MPU, make sure they are in good shape and check all your plugs and IO cards to make sure they are seated well. Also, 1270 boards are/can be a bit difficult to seat, make sure it's pushed in all the way and those plug pins are in good shape also

At this point I think I would try another mpu. I did have one awhile back with the same error you have and another mpu worked.

When you set your machine type are you pushing the max credit button to save ? same with denom settings you have to push the max button to save . P.B.

staz · « **Reply #17 on:** July 13, 2014, 08:12:59 PM »

all settings get saved by pushing max credits......i would try another mpu

PLUNGER BOY · « **Reply #18 on:** July 13, 2014, 08:18:18 PM »

Having spare slot parts is not a waste of money it is easier to find the cure to the problem by just swapping out parts . Believe me sooner or later you will need them . P.B.

I'll stock with the theory that it working when tested and something came loose during transport so he needs to check all plugs and wiring
