Fruit Machine Chat

not done to bad on this the few times iv played it, had tops for 20-30 in most times, did spot someone take a very quick jp from it and leave last night though, didn't see what was done though

just wondering, saw a player come in with his 'mate' and straight on the LR (didn't even buy a drink) he got shown the info then left (in a big merc - last time was driving audi Tt) FYI sadly (If you paid money for info) the machine has now been replaced with "the dark side" oh and hI ever...

Does it take a minute or two before alarming?
If so I'd say meter error - common problem on these

When you stripped the hopper down before did you make sure you plugged the correct connector in to it - as the will be a spare one that you mentioned before
Or you could try the other connector and recheck

BTW that pic is off the an OLD lamp driver board - the one's that were prone to catch fire, I'd replace it anyway to be on the safe side As PSX stated eggy777 on ebay does the whole kit for £20~£30 quid depending on his mood it would seem !! and the LDB are the newer ones if you check his listings (...

BUT from your last pic I'm pretty sure that the connector is in the wrong socket - (the one outlined by yellow circle) I'm sure it should be in the socket below it one socket is for cctalk and the other is for MEI Hii BUT getting them wrong will not 'blow up' anything so don't worry. just whipped t...

what technology is it? (mpu5, scorpion4, impact etc) sorry mate im a total newbie, how can i tell? some answers do beggar belief, but you all got to start some where Who makes the machine? MayGAY, Barcunt, JP imo M , A rsehole C ompany E etc and what tech - look on the pcb it should say - if you ca...

OK from your last pic you have got the big cap fitted (from the wires that I can see - leading to a big cap under the hopper shelf) BUT "coin mech???? hopper???? and bnv????" means it can not find coin mech, hopper or note acceptor (BNV is note acceptor), so the cctalk line if defo fu**ed,...

Is this the one with the Eclipse board in your machine by any chance? If so What messages do you see on boot up? (are there lots of '???') as it sound like the cctalk line is down - it could be any component on it i.e. coin mech, hopper, or note acceptor (if one goes down it can kill the whole lot -...

I'm hoping you meant SEC meter - Starpoint Electronic Counter

Check you battery

Very common fault if it is MPU4 - most likely battery damage causing corrosion on the board,
The tracks that run to the display connector run under the battery and are normally the 1st to corrode.

It an easy fix once you know what track it is,

Yeah you could compare it to M1 I suppose,

But sometimes it's the flash module that goes duff and can stop it from booting, if it boots ok now you should be ok.

Alarm is because of dead battery,
easy soldering job

also does anyone know what voltages should be coming from the psu? i measured across the first 2 of the 6 pin connector & got 18v i think, then twenty something on the next 2 down then around 18 again on the bottom 2, trying to find out why the board went, so maybe a voltage problem from the tr...

Are you talking about global eclipse?

If so the program is stored on flash chips mounted on the reverse of the module where you insert the flash card,

that can be removed and put into another board as long as the board is ok in the 1st place

Yes, ive meant to post about this tesco MTR :lol: My mum, being one of the 'top girls' on the tesco machine circuit has been on this for weeks. Although needless to say she didnt pass it on on to me till :!: it was critical'd Although as of yesterday, some shops havnt been 'chipped' and may be the ...
