anyone have any idea why when my fruit machine initializes it says on the alpha memory reset alarm. it happens every time i switch my machine on then it says set up ok and continues normally until next time the machine is turned on. i have also turned the sounds down to 0 but when i switch it back on the sound is back to 50?!!

Yep, he's a member @ The Mecca, and a dam good bloke to boot, so worth knowing.

Batts are pretty easy to sort out, but if the old one has leaked (Especially with the older blue ni-cad ones), then you may have to give the system board the Sarsons (Vinegar) treatment and possible track repair.

Loads of how-to's @ MPU Mecca, and the guys will help you along the way.... just watch out for a member called Player, as he likes taking 16oz claw hammers to Maygays

how long do these batteries last? the machine is 4 years old and ex pub hire. i purchased it last week from stemik gaming and i arrived in pretty damn good condition, it looks brand new. is it not worth notifying them as i get 30 day warranty on my purchase.

Batteries should be changed every 4 years according to the guys on th emecca so sounds about right. As you have it under warranty, get them to do it as I believe you have to do a bit of soldering, and Maygays being as fragile as they are, you are best not to void what little warranty you have.
