Hi all and thanks for having me.
I have a Golden Strike fruit machine was has an MPU5 computer. It has been in the garage for between 2-3 years and when it was switched on the other day it doesn't work, it seems not to be booting at all; it worked previously before being stored. The symptoms are as follows...
- No front end user lights or any displays working or even lighting up.
- Inside circuit board LEDs are all greed apart from the Status light which is solid red.
- When I remove the program card the Status light goes off and the Halt light goes on.
I have checked all the fuses on all the circuit boards and within the PSU and they all test ok.
I have checked all wiring and everything looks plugged in, nothing feels loose. I have checked the disk battery on the MPU5 and it reads 3.19v on the multimeter. I saw a battery on the program board, a Varta 2/V150H which after a search is a 2.4v rechargable and it reads 1.23v on the multimeter. There was a bit of corrosion on one of the positive legs on the 2.4v battery so I have cleaned that up.
Apart from the low voltage on the battery everything else visually looks ok and so I would expect the system to boot and throw an error for low battery?
I likely won't be able to put this back together for another few days and so would like some advice before doing that in case I put it back together, find it still doesn't work and should be doing something else for the symptoms and have to take it apart again.
