so how do i fix it baz ?

[Starleisure]

senior tech ? okay i power up the machine , the alarm comes on and sounds for maybe a second or two then goes off , the display then reads strim alm 19.

 

i turned the machine of disconnected the mech , the pound coin popped out , so not sure where from lol , i gave it a good blow out then connected back up.

 

powered up the machine then exactly the same happens.

 

thanks

 

I think you should remove and fully check your coin mech for a blockage.

 

If you cant do that buy another.

 

Ask Baz to supply if needed.

watchin barcelona outplay milan so gonna have a do at it tomorrow night , the joys of owning a fruit machine !

theres proble a coin or 2 just by the separator ( thats the white bit joined on the bottom of the mech  ) 

 

if your not sure what to do follow these steps  

 

take the mech out and unscrew the screw in the middle of the mech 

 

that then pulls off 

 

you can then see if there are any coins jammed in there

Me and you both CG 20years at the end of this month mate. Lol and now we have what unit it is being an mpu5 Sr5 1million % agreed on £2 probs, Mechs gone hi or Jammed coins

 

Also CG your saying that you have never done a ram clear hmmmm ok so you have never changed the price of play on club machine then or changed a game card or proms or mpu replaced or replaced a dead battery on a epoch for example  (In 20years i`ve changed loads that clears the ram)

a ram clear is standard on any of them things  BUT not on a strim alarm 

 

as for changing boards i think ive changed 2 in the last year

psu,s probly 10 in the last year 

 

as for changing a battery on an epoch no i havnt as we dont have any of them crap epoch machines

 

 fruity wise we mainly have  bell fruit  jpm and  barcrest 

 

 

so you would go on site and ram clear a 1.9 alarm which then puts the machine % to zero

 im sure the landlord would love you doing that so his machine starts paying out loads until it reaches the correct %

ok , rang a mate , he said put 4 pound coins in the hopper , which i have done , left it then powered up , alarm started going off for a while , then it counted down , when finished it now displays ON/OFF ALM 48 , has anyone any idea what i can do now to get the machine to initialize ?? thanks

[Starleisure]

I always felt a ram clear is more last resort than a real fix.

 

Agreed it can clear the memory on the machine and temp fix but if there is a fault it will come back rather quick.

" when finished it now displays ON/OFF ALM 48 , has anyone any idea what i can do now to get the machine to initialize ??"

 

 

Just leave it to time out.

might be  a daft question but how long do i wait ? its currently powered up displaying ON/OFF ALM 48

[Starleisure]

Till it clears really or the alarm code changes.

[fraghore]

anyone got any  idea how long it will continue to display ON/OFF ALM 48 ? do i just leave it on all night ?? thanks any help appreciated 

[cgleisure]

has it cleared now ??

[fraghore]

been on all night , just checked it and same code on display : ON/OFF ALM 48  , do i need to do something else ? so it can initialize ?

Hands up here to CG and maybe also Nick "I`M SORRY" i did jump on your backs. It was uncalled for (Even tho i had a completely ***t day and was not your) Once again sorry for my bad fingers on this keyboard

 

Baz me mukka i was just being a ***ky hunt

 

Yes star your right it will start back at 0%. It was a quick way of seeing if the error was being held with in the ram. After the seperater and down run was checked and clear.

 

At the end of the ladies<-- (I`m not just speaking for myself there) lol. We do give help to those that have a unit at home or are buying one which dose have a fault and we have to be flexable in all areas some more then others.

[fraghore]

whatever that means above  can anyone advise my next step to finally be able to use the machine lols

Tip - Disconnect The Speaker (& Turn It On - Eventually It Should Clear & Resume As Normal) Unless 20Mins Pass & Its Still Going There Is A Component At Fault & Will Need Replacing 

Hope This Helps - Would Also Check Fuses Ect + Status Leds
