Hello,

I have a Bluebird 1 that has the gold fish game with top box display. It recently came up with an error on the main screen saying "lost communication to top box" and has an error on the top screen that says " can't open or no manifest file present"

Things I have tried:
reseating all top box connections
checked for proper voltage on all power supplies
ram cleared the machine

any help would be awesome

thank you

It seems like your main cpu is looking for the  top board or cf card. Could  top cf card be in backwards, or not seated all the way? The card too could be bad! Just a guess, hope you get it going. It can be lonely out in the middle of the ocean!!  lol  Slot one

It appears that the Top box CF card went bad............

 I know it is a long shot but..... Does anyone have one of the following laying around (I hope I hope I hope)
64MB CF Card LCD Top Box -GoldFish  L569-000-1000 V1.00

To bad this thing is useless without the top box working properly, I cant believe it takes the whole game down.

Thank you in advance

So, I was trying to troubleshoot one of my BB1 Goldfish games by putting the top box compact flash in it from the one next door and now I have 2 of them down. when I put the original card back in the working machine it comes up on the top box with the fish graphics and says loading but then flashes back and forth to the progress bars and the main screen says lost communication to top box.

I would asssume that since there is a Bios ROM, memory and processor that either the top box cpu or the main cpu will need to be ram cleared, I know how to ram clear the main cpu but how the heck do you ram clear the top box? And what if any ram clear CF is needed for ram clearing the top box?

Please help, I'm striking out and now I have 2 games down not just one........

How about just removing the battery.  That should clear it.

Tried removing the battery and ram cleared the machine itself but no luck. The top monitor will have a fish graphic that says "loading"on it with the os vesion and the software loading status bar that doesn't move then flips to a black screen with 2 status bars then changes back to the other screen. Constant cycle.

Anyone seen this before or have any ideas?

Did you try replacing the simm in the top box monitor?

Are you refering to the compact flash or is there something else?

Replacing the compact flash is what initiated the problem.

Thank you,

Inside that box on the back of the monitor is where the CF card is located that you changed. Inside that box is a battery as well as a memory simm.   The card loads onto the simm.

Would you suspect the simm`s to be bad or do they need to be cleared somehow? (2 machines doing the same thing)

Can you read the flash cards in a computer and make sure they are ok with the proper checksum?

Maybe the 1st machine has some problem where it is corrupting cards?

checksum on both CF's were correct, still no luck.

I have 3 of these machines total and I am really scared to touch the 3rd one to aid in troubleshooting.

What to do, what to do.
