Title: 5500 Pro Slot Machine Error Code 81 Wont Go Away
Post by: mantaramian on December 23, 2010, 08:08:41 PM
I just got a Bally 5500 slot and changed the battery as well and I am having the same problem every time I turn the machine on i still get error code 81.

I am thinking that I have a broken trace somewhere that will let the machine know that the battery voltage is there.

Any recommendations to what pin on the ram should be checked for battery power????

I ordered the RAMClear set prior to finding the form..... Will these help or do I have another problem that needs to be addressed???

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Should have a small jumper at JW 12 It's also marked BATT  ( located about 1/2 inch from the + end of battery )

Can you post the numbers on the 4 eproms located U 3, 4, 12, and 15  Numbers off just one of the four is all that's needed.

I forgot to mention.

I see that, the person that had the machine before me had off set the jumpper....

I thought the problem would have been solved by appling the jumpper to the two pins.....

I place the jumpper on the pins and am still getting the same error 81.

As soon as I get home from work I will get the EPROM information you are requesting....

Thanks,
Mike

The eprom numbers have nothing to do with the 81 your getting, If those 4 chips have a number 92000 on them you will not need a clear set to do a clear. doing a clear with a 81 won't do any good either

Any chance you installed the battery backwards? Forgive me but I had to ask.

LOL about the battery, I do have children and they can be a distraction.....

The battery is installed correctly.... The DMM does indicate +3.9 from ground to the leg from the previous battery.

The EPROM's start with a 94 I believe.....

I will reaffirm when I get home...

Thanks,
Mike

So I got home and did battery check just to make sure I didn't mess up :279-.... So the battery is soldered in correct.

I flow soldered the 2 connectors on the back of the board. I then reinstalled the board and I am still getting that fricken Error 81

 :131- Soooooo, what do you think the next step is???     :131-

Is it possable that the person that had the slot machine before me may of swaped boards?

All help is great... If I need to I can include pictures

So I have traced the power from the battery to pin 6 of U56.

With the IC in the circuit the power from the battery reads flat (0 volts) I removed the IC very carefully and now I get the 3.6 volts from the battery. I don’t know if this is supposed to function like this with the IC is circuit.

The IC part number is a TLC 372CP
Specs on the IC: http://www.chipcatalog.com/TI/TLC372CP.htm

Does anybody have any suggestions????

Thanks in Advance,
Mike
