No, because they use different protocols to communicate with the machine. Bally uses ID003 and RS-232 signalling. IGT uses ID024 and Netplex (IGT proprietary bus). Here's a pic of the wires that go to the bezel lamp board (center of photo).

When you find them and if everything looks good then you may have a bad bezel lamp board. I haven't even seen one fail, but they have electronic components on them too, so it's a possibility.

I've reseated every connection I could find behind the BV, and no difference. I did find some light boards on eBay and ordered one, we'll see if that fixes the issue.

That was the problem, the new bezel lamp board arrived today, and all is good.

The intermittent lighting of the old board sure did lead one to believe that there was a bad connection, not a bad board. Seems that if the board was bad it wouldn't light at all.

Thanks for posting the resolution and I'm glad you got it fixed

The good news is that those things are pretty reliable so you likely won't ever have to replace it again. If you hadn't replaced it, it probably would have eventually gone completely dead. Things that are intermittent like that usually do.

Couple more questions...

Sometimes, maybe 5% of the time, there is a delay (2 or 3 seconds) between pressing the Play 5 Credits button and the reels spinning. Usually, they spin almost immediately after pressing the button. Is this normal?

I am considering the TITO@Home system for both of my games. Does this require a complete clear and key to install that system?

Tilt · « **Reply #65 on:** October 25, 2023, 09:16:53 AM »

Yes, that's normal.

No. Normally the only time you need to use a clear chip on a machine is to change the accounting denomination. You will need to key it though to change the SAS settings.

Trouble in paradise... lol

The game was working perfectly until I attempted to clear/key the machine for TITO@home. When I attempt to clear the machine (per their instructions) the top light comes on solid and the second one flashes and never goes solid. Obviously, I can't proceed until clear is complete. Any ideas as to what the issue might be?

Tilt · « **Reply #67 on:** November 06, 2023, 12:51:38 PM »

You clear the credits and key the machine. Don't run a clear chip on it, there is no reason to unless for some reason you want to change the accounting denomination. If you clear the machine you're going to create more work for yourself.

Pinaddicted · « **Reply #68 on:** November 06, 2023, 01:14:23 PM »

I asked Brian about that and he suggested the machine be cleared before keying for TITO. Is there a reason that the second light continues to flash with the clear chip installed?

Here we go again, after I put the SB chip back in it shows this error...

EEPROM Error
and
EEPROM DEVICE ERROR -0x4

Looks like I need another 24C16 EEPROM chip? This was the problem before, what typically makes these chips go bad? (I'll order extras this time)

Pinaddicted · « **Reply #70 on:** November 07, 2023, 06:28:49 AM »

I assume this eBay listing would work for a 24C16 EEPROM replacement? The one I purchased before was $5.00 plus shipping for just one, looking for a better deal. Again, what typically causes this memory chip to go bad?

I'm assuming the EEPROM error message comes back when you turn the reset key fnd follow the instructions on the VFD? If so, then yes, it maybe bad. I don't know why it would go bad if you already replaced it, they normally last for years.

The blinking light probably indicates the clear operation failed, which would make sense if the EEPROM is bad. The ones you linked to should work fine.

Pinaddicted · « **Reply #72 on:** November 07, 2023, 08:01:53 AM »

Yes, the EEPROM error message is displayed on the VFD when I turn the reset key and continues to cycle the same message as it tries to boot up. I'll post an update after the new 24C16 EEPROM is installed.

This is a bit strange, what do you think....?

The new 24C16 chip is arriving later today, so I thought I'd pull the current one out to get ready. Then, for the heck of it I reinstalled the current one (24C16) to see if it just might work... installed the clear chip, powered up machine, and still had the top light solid/second one flashing. Then, I removed/re-installed the board battery into the holder, powered the machine, and got the normal 2 solid lights on the CPU. I didn't proceed with the key process, I'll do that after the new (again) 24C16 arrives and is installed.

Any thoughts???

You mean....it's working?

Pinaddicted · « **Reply #75 on:** November 08, 2023, 11:28:24 AM »

Not yet, waiting on the new 24C16 to arrive. Just thought it was odd that I finally got 2 solid lights when the clear chip was installed, when I was having issues before.

Dirty socket perhaps. I would have continued.

Quick question....

Assuming I don't have any error codes as I proceed, should I connect the TITO board before or after the machine is keyed, or does it matter?

a69mopar · « **Reply #78 on:** November 08, 2023, 12:28:12 PM »

It shouldn't matter when you connect the board.

Pinaddicted · « **Reply #79 on:** November 08, 2023, 12:45:57 PM »

New 24C16 is in, clear and key chips got 2 solid lights.... now for the fun part.... lol
