Fruit Machine Chat

Hi everyone, my beloved Indiana Jones fruity has started throwing up an error=9.3 message occasionaly , it is doing it all the time today but its been intermitent for the last month or so, the machine resets and then comes up with the error.

If I manage to get it to stay on a quick jiggle of the main board will reproduce the error every time leading me to believe that its a dry joint on the board somewhere. Anyone got any ideas.

Cheers

It certainly points to dry joints or a dodgy connection.

Check all the plastic molex connectors around the board, especially any that look overheated or burned.

What manufacturer and tech is this?

And have you checked to make sure that the battery has not started to leak?

Indiana Jones is Impact tech and 9.3 alarm is the processor card fault.
As aaamusements says check the battery as it is on that card,if it's leaking damage may have already started.
After that check the pin connections between the processor card and the main board

Cheers , the battery does look a bit dodgy so Ill replace it asap, will the machine lose all its bookeeping info when I change the battery, will it play ok or will it be weird for a bit till the % sorts itself.

Cheers.

Ive found what looks to be the same battery on Farnells web site , 2.4v but 150mah rather than the originals 100mah, that wont make any difference will it ?. There seems to be 2 different batterys with the same ratings , the standard varta nimh and the varta mempac nimh, anyone know the difference.

Cheers.

Thanks for the help.

No probs mate.
Must be very convenient having a Farnell so close - I am envious!

Turns out the processor board was knackered, managed to get another off ebay and it seems ok now. .

Excellent, well done.
