Hi All
Just wondered whether anyone has a spare working Maygay M1b Board that they would be prepared to sell to me, or know anyone that could possibly fix my existing M1b Board.
I have a Club Stake Yer Claim machine made by Global which uses Maygay Technology - which unfortunately isn't working at present.
When the machine is switched on, strange characters appear on the alpha display, and some of the lights pulse every couple of seconds or so. That's all that happens. Reels don't even twitch, no sound whatoever, just doesn't want to boot. All LED's on the M1b board are lit except for the +12v, which I think is ok as I believe this doesn't lite up until the machine boots.
I have changed the power supply (which made no difference whatsoever) and also tried another program card (from my Eastenders machine) but made no difference either. I have also checked all connections time and time again.
I can therefore only assume that the M1b Board is faulty - but I could be wrong. I have searched previous threads and note that Battery Leakage is common with Maygay Boards, but to be honest I haven't noticed any so far, but will take a closer look in daylight tomorrow. I think it still has the original battery on it (is it Ni-cad?) but I undertsand that a Lithium Battery maybe better.
Please can anyone shed any light on this, as I have spent hours trying to fix it already, but have now cracked and seek advice from the professionals!!!
Many thanks in advance for any help / advice you can offer.
Kind regards. John
