I have 5 enhanced boards here that I've removed the battery and U16 and they all have the same symptom. When inserted back into the machine the red light flashes and the second yellow light flashes. None of the boards will clear, the 2 top yellow lights flash alternately when I install the clear chip, almost as though the ram is bad. It is a bad board not a power supply, I can install a known good board and the machine does fine, has to be the boards. Anybody have a clue as to what to do to fix these boards?

Could I at least get a (in your best Bones from Star Trek), she's dead Jim ......... then I could lay these poor pitiful boards to rest.

are the daughter boards and software chips good? do they play on a known good 1270 board?
I have 1270 boards available, if you are in need. Tested by me, in a machine, complete with all the software EXCEPT the game chip. the varta and U16 removed, new coin battery.

The daughter boards are good, I've swapped and confirmed. The software is also good again I've swapped and confirmed. It just seemed weird that I would all of the sudden come up with 5 of these dead, they were in a load of machines perhaps the casino swapped good for bad. Wouldn't be the first time I've seen that. I was hoping there may be one last trick in the bag.

Coin battery at 2.8V or above?
-
yes, brand new coin battery at 3v.
-
What VS chip are you using? Seems like I read somewhere that it matters
-
I'm using 598 version chips. Did not occur to me that could be the problem.
-
It's not a software problem. Threw a set of 363 at all five boards and still have the same condition. I've been at this since the fortune one days and I think this is the worst board IGT produced. Seems the engineers were drawing up board plans on cocktail napkins at 3 in the morning.

Cowboy was talking VS chip not SG
-
oops, the vs chip is an x1 (vs011gx1)
-
Version chip is good. Any pin or socket problems on the MPU's or motherboards?
-
Sorry, you already tried known working MPU's, so motherboards are good. Any chance there's a short across the pads where you pulled U16 from the board? Do you know if any of the boards worked before you modified them?
-
These boards all come in with dead bad looking batteries, so rather than replace them I just did the U16 mod. So I really don't know if they were working or not. I'm pretty careful when I pull the U16 so no short across the pads. I just really don't know if anything can be done with them.

Don't remember ever reading where someone resurrected one, sorry
