hi all
im abit new to this
i normally play with 12v car stuff
so on a recent trip to do a job the guy gave me an olympic pokie machine
im from queensland   australia

this is an aussie machine
ive done afew hours today searching these forums for ideas

this guy had 3 machines and said if anyoen can solve the problem it would be me so i brought one home
they used to work but slowly faded away and now wont boot up

once i pressed the ram clear button it wont go past the boot screen where u can do some settings

i tested the batttery and ots 0vs so tomorrow ill try get a replacement and see what that does
here is a pic of the machine and a pic of the boot screen

if anyoen can help me get past this screen i would be greatful

Is the machine NSW or QLD, if QLD it wont run stand alone as it's on the QCom system it will if its NSW.
Ceck the eprom on the mainboaed it will let you know whether it NSW or not.

thanks for your reply
im pretty sure its nsw
there is 2 rows of dip switches and they r set to nsw
and afrw other things say nsw

im pretty sure it used to work beforehand
im wondering if they have a time or date lock so after sometime the machine stops and crashes

i cleared ram now stuck on this screen and no matter what i press it wont go past it

thanks

Is there an instruction or service manual for these machines
Probably not if its Australian made
Its got oa2v30 written on the main pcb

And it's got a small white thing with 10 LEDs on it

First two are on and the 8th led is flashing fast
It's seems to be an error code or something

Looks like ill ring a pokie repair shop tomorrow in the area and see if its worth fixing it

If its under two hundred bucks ill think bout repairing it
If its too much ill throw it in the tip


Thanks

Bob
