How can I try to print out the demo ticket?

Did you do what brianfink and jim said to do in the previous posts? Please re-read them and then reply.

[Clawsino]

Ya, printer says disabled in the key config 2 menu. What chip do I need to change this seting?

[shortrackskater]

I think it's the KEY 31 45     One of the vendors should have one here...

Get a key 45 and a clear 224 it was in earlier post. Also you still need to replace the coin battery. At 2.76 volts your going to start showing errors that do not really exist.

[Clawsino]

Ok, so I finally got around to swapping the battery out. I changed to a coin battery holder and a cr2032 coin battery. When I put the board back in now it says ram error and has an alarm noise till i close the door, then it says call attendant and it wont work at all. Do i have to use a clear chip or something to clear the ram?

once the ram error / call attendant error is present

open door and alarm sounds

turn jackpot reset key 4 times

press and hold self test switch on MPU for at least 5 seconds and release

close door and machine should start boot up process

Beauty, thanks. Got it back to square one. Changed the battery out for a fresh one, but it still starts up to meters disconnected. If I leave it plugged in for awhile with the door opened turned on eventually the candle will start flashing, then i can close the door and play. I know my green varta battery is around 2.0V. Could that be an issue? whats the process on removing it?

[brianfink]

You should definitely remove the green battery before it leeks and damages your board, just solderer or cut it out, you don't need to do anything else, but I don't think it is causing your meter disconnected error.  I suspect you either have an I/O card going out or possibly the MPU. You could try bypassing the meters by splicing the orange and black wire to the one next to it on the plug that goes into the meters. You could also try cleaning the connections for the cabinet I/O and the MPU / backplane.

If the green Varta is below 2.7, it needs to be replaced or done away with if possible. The next step is door open M errors.

Ok, I removed the battery and the game is still working. All is good for now. I will keep an eye on it and monitor the meter disconnect errors

[qbert]

Most cards ( I/O) do not go intermittent. Power supply (behind the reels) will do that. At some point remove the varta battery but not causing current issue. Tough when you don't have another machine to swap parts with but having a spare power supply is a good idea.
