New to me machine, bought clear chip from member of this forum site.
Replaced battery and Did clear procedure according to this site numerous times. Can not get passed 83FO
Tested voltage on mains reads 0v, U18/U20 0v, U30/U35 2.75v
Not sure what else to do
Pics shows chips and recent work done to the board
-
This is from Alan
On the RAM chips U30 and U45 Use a volt meter, Black lead on lower left pin, Red on upper right pin, with chip notch facing away from you. Let us know what your battery voltage shows.
Also before the clear, press the Pseudo and Test button each, a dozen times. The internal contacts do get oxidized .
-
U30 2.75
U45 2.75
I have tested continuity through the Test and Pseudo buttons, they test good but I’ll try it again
-
Pushed both buttons 20x and did full clear, replaced with mains and still 83FO
-
The clear chips you bought, are they the removable type clear chips or the leave in clear chips? It requires a certain procedure for each type. Which do you have?
-
Bought these off of a member here. I asked for the take out ones.
-
Just to confirm, You do not use Dip switch with removable clear chips procedure.
-
I read on this forum that you install clear chips and turn Ds1 #8 ON, then do the Test and Speudo buttons in while turning machine on and wait for full clear. Then #8 off and reinstall mains.
Is this not right?
-
I saw that you are doing a full clear, this will not work. You must do a complete clear.
-
What is the procedure for a complete clear?
-
Removable clear chips you do not use the #8 switch. Leave it off. And do the clear
-
I tried with sw8 off, pushed Test and Pseudo in while turning machine on. Got Credit “0”. Coin in “0” slowly flashing then reels jumped. Turned machine off. Put mains back in and still 83F0.
Did I miss something?
-
Tried it again without pushing anything. Same slow 0 0 Flashing, reels spinning the aligned at seem. Now two dots in the Win Paid. Turned machine off, replaced mains and still 83FO
-
With clear chips installed, Do you press and hold buttons for about 30 seconds, till you see CLC in the display?
-
Held for 35 secs, now I have in the Win Paid a 5.0. flashing with the “0”’s
-
Did the reels spin and calibrate after you installed the original mains? If you have 50 on display close the door
-
No, goes straight to 83F0 and flashing lights
-
83F0 = Invalid SafeRam EPROM
-
Yes, my clear chips are new from a member. Not sure about mains.
-
My Main chips are 2006, which clear chips do I need?
-
The clear chips you have should work .
-
I ordered new mains from JJSlots. Hopefully that is the problem
-
Had this same error 83FO. Sprayed contact electrical cleaner into the switches where you press on the pencil lead buttons. Sprayed cleaner into each button and press the button 20 30 times to be sure the contacts get a connection. Did that to all 3, TEST, PSEUDO, and RESET. Then I did the clear and got it to clear.
-
Got new clear and main chips
Cleared, seen the CL C, CH C
Put main chips in, went through the setup. Reset, close door, ready to play.
Then Error code 83-3
Checked battery 3.6v (lithium battery in holder)
Did another clear, just in case
Now it’s Error code 88-0 0000
New board?
-
Send it to NLG member Alan/Badbaud. He does repair boards and He has a test station.
-
When you install clear chips and press both TEST and PSEUDO buttons , keeping holding buttons , turn power on while holding those buttons , you hold buttons in till you get CLC.
let go , turn the power off and install the main chips, KEEP the door open, turn the power on , Keep the door open, reels will calibrate then they will stop , keep the door open, you will see 01 01 001, press the service button on the outside of the door, then you should see 50. Now its ready. Close the door.
Did you use contact cleaner on the switches??
-
Yes I used electrical contact cleaner on switches
I did do the clear as described, main chips back in, reels spun and went through the setup.
Machine was ready to play, went to put quarters in and then code 88-3 came up, checked battery again and got 3.6v on the board
I tried do a clear again, but when the main chips go back in and turn machine on all that happens is code 88-0
-
...checked battery again and got 3.6v on the board...
You would get a code [81] if the battery falls below 2.2Vdc
-
Did another clear holding buttons for a minute, back to Error 88-3
-
Did another clear holding buttons for a minute, back to Error 88-3
Have the MPU board serviced or replaced.
The manual says it has a "Catastrophic Failure."
