Newbie advice needed. BWB Red Hot Fever. MPU4 mod 4.

09 April 2018 - 10:57 AM

Hello. Im Richard and Im New to all this but last week I bought a 1990s Red Hot Fever machine by BWB. Paid £30 for it a bought it as a non worker. I just loved the look of it and bought it purely as a decorative thing. Got it home and wondered if I could at lest get it to light up. So I read up, did some research and stripped out the MPU4 board. Sure enough the battery had leaked all over the board. The tracks were pretty messed up. So out came the soldering iron, multimeter and some good lighting. I tracked, traced and bridged all the broken copper, put the board back in. Replaced a fuse in the PSU and bingo ! It works !

The machine now boots and the reels spin as it does its power on self test. It has no alphanumeric Display but uses the leds on the machine front. Displays E4.1 (or E41?) as it boots then appears to be ready and goes into attract mode with all the flashing lights.

It will accept a coin which shows as a credit. And the start buttons flash ready. But as soon as you hit then to start a spin the alarm goes off and it displays E9.1 (E91?) which is a fatal error and the machine must be restarted to cancel.

Ive had a look at the manual and forum posts but can find anything. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I have done as much as I can so far but now need expert advice.

Best wishes
Richard
