See how it goes for an hour or so but KEEP YOUR EYE ON IT, just incase, if it seems to work fine from now on then it wil be ok, ive had one of my machines in storage when i was moving house and ended up leaving it in a garage for 4 month and had a few 'false' errors but all was fine in the end. If the problem continues, check general things like cables and ensure the gamecard is inserted properly, if it continues to f*** up then check the board (the motherboard in the black plastic cover) and you will see easily if there is corrosion to the board which 9/10 is a common problem for causing all sorts of damage. Hope this helps.

Yeah im hoping that its false alarms, i will keep my eye on it, when i get a chance i will check the motherboard, hopefully there is no probs but as i said im a complete novice with the actually working inside the machines!!

What do you mean by a loud sound? Was it a familiar sound to when the machine pays out in normal play mode or the alarm sound? (from what i remeber MPU4's never had an alarm sound)

No, it wasnt familiar, although thinking about it though it could have been the payout constantly going really quickly cause thats what it looked like when i looked in the back when it was doing it.

Funny enough i tried to turn it on today and it worked, seemed fine for about 10 mins, then i did get an alarm, saying something about irregular coins (or something like that i cant remember now)

I turned it off and on again and its worked fine for the past hour

Is there a list of alarm messages anywhere cause i may be able to remember it if i see them, i actually paniced when it started alarming as ive not heard it before so quickly turned it off

will probably be the fact the battery has pissed all over the mpu

thats what usually happens when machines have been in storage/not turned on for a while

Would this mean its knackard in the long run even though it is working now?>

Thanks, So would that cause the constant pumping of the hoppers? Hopefully its not to complicated and i will be able to fix it myself
