WEIRD Bally poker V2000 problem..PLEASE HELP!
« on: March 07, 2014, 08:14:43 PM »
Well I have a bally v2000 poker machine (the 3 stack) & I got it with a battery error. Let me first say I have looked through this group looking for solutions, but no luck. I replaced the battery with new (it had VERY MINOR CORROSION which I cleaned & ohmed out the traces to be sure), I even bought a ram clear chip from foxshots, still no luck. Being a video game guy & seeing the similarities of the bally MCRII game boards (tron, rally-x, journey), I almost ALWAYS had problems with the crappy cables that connect the boards... I havent tried that yet, & before I DO & just wanted to see if anyone else has a solution as no matter what I do it boots up with the old BAD BATTERY error.

Its a cool quarter machine & I really want to get it going, please, any help is appreciated.

Greg

Please forgive me for asking the obvious - but did you check the new battery's voltage with a voltmeter?

yep, & im getting the 3.8 volts everywhere....so I dont think its a broken trace...even swapped all the ribbon cables to different spots....same thing.. BAD BATTERY on bootup every time....

Im starting to think maybe the 6264 ram is bad? I THINK thats the chip the battery is supposed to keep the memory for....

Is the polarity correct? If polarity is correct then you may have a bad trace near the battery or some traces have been soldered together accidently. Shorted together.

If you don't get find the problem Ka-Lar Larry Weber fixes these 3 card stacks for around $125

yeah its correct, plus I have traced the voltages with my meter with the board in my lap...im getting 3.8 volts to all the chips I SHOULD be (I think, dont have schematics) so its not a trace or bad solder.....

very strange... how do I reach this guy? I think I may send them out...

You should call them instead of emailing. I've found they don't answer the emails very fast.. The phone number is,
702-363-9998. They are on pacific time.. Tell him NLG sent you..

Ok, I'll chime in.
Different hoppers used on V2000. Does yours' have hopper control board right behind the hopper handle you use to remove hopper?

Thanks!! yes!! It DOES & it has the two push button on top of the board... left is reset (works) the other is to clear errors & read but it does nothing for me.... seems to lock up at the bad battery message..... OH & I can get the hopper to do ANYTHING & it all looks good upon removal & inspection.

Larry is a good guy. Give him a call and tell him your problem. They might have something you can try to clear the error. It is worth a try.

I have a board that is having the same "Bad Battery" error. It had a Lithium soldered in it and the error popped up.
 
I changed it to the proper  NiCad and still same error. I think the charging circuit has been damaged by the incorrect battery type, Lithium.
 
I will have to send it to K-Lar and have it repaired
