A broken wire. Sorted!! Also, thanks to the manual I have been able to adjust the volume :-)

All I need is a few bulbs to replace the dud ones and its complete.

Thanks for all your help, I couldn't have done it without you!

Cheers

Peter

Hello,

Many thanks for the manual. It's not the button, I've swapped it with the one next to it.

Does it need "pay out" money in any particular places to pay out before it will operate?

Cheers

I had the PSU sitting on the bench with the cover off. I had a load for each of the voltages (5v, 12v, 13.5v, 24v & 48v) nothing too heavy, but enough for each pin to take current. I monitored the voltage on each pin with each load. I was initially concerned about 13.44v, but when I looked at the details on the outside of the PSU, they were supposed to be 13.5v anyway.

This seems to have gone downhill since I first turned it on. Initially I had a brief message on the green display and a noise. That no longer happens. Then I had a "click" in time to the reset light flashing and that no longer happens. Now all I get is the reset light flashing!

I'm sure that the power supply is OK, so all I'm left with is the mother board or the programme board.

Cheers

Peter, did you get round to checking the battery and the area around it for leakage/damage?
It's common enough!


Yes, nothing obvious though. Is it worth replacing it anyway? Is it widely available?

Cheers

yeah i back up whateveryone has said but you may also have an mpu thats stuck in reset.

best thing to do first is to check the sound/program card and make sure there are no bent pins and its in correctly.
then the power supply and then the mpu(where the program card plugs into)


it will be one of them.

Hello, sorry this thread has gone a little cold, but I have been away on business a lot. I finally got the PSU out and checked each of the voltages on load. They were all at what I expected.

I have looked at the program card and there are no bent pins and it sits in snugly.

Now if I turn it on, there is no sound at all and the red "reset" LED just flashes. If I hold the red button in it goes steady for as long as I hold it in.

It doesn't seem to want to boot - am I looking at a new processor card?

Cheers

Peter
