This may help if you don't already have the manual.

Followed instructions in manual, same messages appears but adds to clear saferam, please install clear chip otherwise, please reset dipswitch. please restart machine.  main saferam:fail
backup saferam 1:fail backup saferam 2:fail  Manual says Some versions of Main programs require a EPROM labeled V7S1000CLEAR-02 in socket P10.    Do I need this EPROM for the machine to reset?  Any help would be appreciated.

Which clear chip are you using in P10 to clear it?  If you don't have one I think the version of the mains on your board require it.

Also turn on DSW1 - 6, 7, & 8 when doing a clear.

I do not have a EPROM (V7S1000CLEAR-02) as mentioned in the manual.  P10 has a game chip installed.  Any idea where I can acquire this Eprom?
Thanks for the help.

You have to remove the game chip and plug in the clear chip to clear, then plug the game chip back in before doing the rest of the setup.
That is where you need to know what is in your machine.
1. Jurisdiction always set to 12. pulsed door optics or mechanical switch?3. coin hopper?4. coin acceptor only or with COD board?5. Machine upright of slant?
After all of that you need to setup your credit limits.
And much more, one mistake on the initial setup options and you have to re-clear the board and start over.

Waiting for clear chip to arrive, will provide details after attempting to clear and reset.  Hope this gets it working again.
Thank you all for your help.

There are also some files in the Gamemaker section of the Downloads that may offer assistance.
