HEAR-YEE... HEAR-YEE....

"LCU Guide to Toppers" ........

"Red, Blue, Green... Red, Blue, Green" issue is a lack of proper firmware. The R,B,G sequence is an error code of an I/O device being "offine" (Not communicating). WAVE Toppers and PRO LED speaker boards require Level A05 (or newer). "A05"'s are NLA and supersede to the "A08" board.

Here's the PROPER information you'll need when calling around for the LCU board...  The used ones Larry has/had are Bally PCA212710. They will accommodate firmware upto "A06". Jumping up to an "A08" Flash requires additional data buses for the "Crown" Toppers, etc (There are 3 separate boards in that Super Topper that require DATA inputs). Thus a DIFFERENT board number. Bally PCA245970 is the CORRECT part number you want to give for a board with an AXDUOABZL020A08 Firmware Flash. The boards are BLACK, not green.

Hope this helps....

..... And yes, The Super "Crown" Topper is a boat anchor without the "A08" to drive it.

Barry, Yes all that you said is right I think. Maybe Im repeating the same info. If so, sorry. But I have tried each topper trying to figured out what was best. And basically what I found was that each topper that is chrome w/LED side and has a black plastic cone support base could use the A05(15", 18.5"). I did find that the 22" chrome plastic w/LED side and has a plastic cone was different. (I didnt take pictues, sorry) 1 of them I tested had a cone base and it worked with AO5, The 22" chrome plastic with the plastic cone with a flat base did not work with AO5 but did work with AO8.
   Now that is not saying that the controller board on these monitors were the same.  Some may be the same and work fine. Others maybe different. I really dont know. I only know what I have tried.
   As for the v27/27 topper, it took a AO8, the WAVE Topper took a A08. I havent got my Super topper in yet, so I cant say... but get me a week an I'll get you an answer.


     As for the the A08 Card, they are not hard to find............

I hear you west coast.  It's super late here and you may want to re-phrase some of your post.  For the record, As I stated earlier in another post They never made a 20 inch topper as stated by the la slots company for sale. Those are 18-18.5 They  just did not take the time to look at them all probably.

Ok, I'll bite, who has them?  LA SLOTS says they are all out of LCU boards.  I'm looking for an A05 and an A08.

I'm using an A06 on the wave topper I got from Barry, works great.

Anybody know what Bally PCA245970 LCU board with an AXDUOABZL020A07 Firmware Flash is for.  This the same black board that the A08 firmware has, just a previous version.  Trying to figure what this can be used for.
