are 044 boards (mainly the flash boards) that fragile that converting a UBA to MEI would cause it to go into a zero check failure? (yes the power was off when swapping the validators)
is there any way to recover a flash board that has that error?
thanks in advance
-
044 flash boards are fragile, but changing the validator is probably not something that would cause that. There is no way to fix a zero check failure without re-flashing the board, and even that doesn't work sometimes.
-
When you say there is a zero check failure, what exactly do you mean? Are you getting an actual message, or is it just freezing up during the check?
-
Zero check failure is a common 044 error that happens when the flash board go bad. It happens toward the end when the cabinet is booting up verifying the flash board.
-
thanks for the replies. was hoping someone would confirm what someone told me that key-chipping and clearing ram/e2 might bring it back around.
what would be a normal price to replace the gk003448 flash board?
-
Key chip won't work.
Price .. aftermarket burned flash boards is the cheapest route. Might be able to find them for $350 plus
Original probably triple that.
-
Are you getting an error message, or freezing during Zero check? If it is freezing then all you need is a new green battery (or removal of it).
-
its an error message and the telltale battery is not present
-
Zero Check is not fixable other than re-flashing, and sometimes that doesn't work. Sorry for the bad news.
