Title: Hard meters disconnected ????
Post by: FORDSBS on May 22, 2013, 09:12:54 PM
Working setting up an Alpha 9000. Put Hee Haw in last night & all worked OK. Put a winning times in tonight & all setup goes ok but I have a hard meters disconnected, everything else setup. They are hooked up. Is it possible I'm using wrong OS for a 128 CF card? Using a AVOSOOOO336-09

Put Hee Haw back in & get hard meters disconnected also. Any suggestions where to look? Did not make any changes to machine other then put in different game.
Thanks Ford

Anyone else have this error lately? Any other remedies?

For there is a jumper you can put on the backplane to bypass the meters.

We had this game up and running a few weeks ago, then stole the MPU for use in another. Today, we stuck another MPU in, cleared it, and get Hard Meter Disconnected??? Read Ford's post and messed with MPU fit, but can't get it to clear. Checked all connectors/cables, still nothing...

I will look for the jumper on the backplane. Do you know offhand if there is only the one jumper?

Anyone??? MPU is in tight...also, it wants to spit out tickets randomly after its booted for awhile, like 4-5 at a time.  :103-

We will clear it again today and see what we can get it to do, but I can't find anything about the meters anywhere!

Hard Meters connect to P9 top left of the Backplane Board

If there are no  Hard Meters and there is No Jumper connector you can make one

Pins 8 & 9 to be jumped only, all other positions open

Nah....we just have much other stuff floating around up there! Besides, I just looked at your profile and you're not quite eligible for that excuse yet, and unfortunately, I can't use it yet either.
