Title: Bally 5500 Bill Validator Thief Post by: jdkmunch on November 24, 2008, 11:43:41 AM I have a Bally 5500 machine that went completely dead – no error codes just dead. I replaced the power supply and it brought the machine back to life with this problem. When I insert a bill, the validator will take the money then beep turn red and blink 10 times and not issue credits. Sometimes after it blinks it will return to green sometimes I have to reset the machine to get it green again.
Could it be the mpu? The validator? Power Supply? I don’t even know where to start. Thanks! Title: Re: Bally 5500 Bill Validator Thief Post by: Ozzy on November 24, 2008, 12:39:33 PM Try replacing the UART U34 on the MPU

I looked at happcontrols.com for UART U34 but can't find anything.

Type in "UART"on the Happs search box... not "UART U34". The "U34" is the mark on your board next to the chip. I noticed at Happs (on the third page,on the bottom, items #53, and #54) a couple of UART chips...however, without looking at your board, I dont know which one to buy.

Title: Re: Bally 5500 Bill Validator Thief Post by: jdkmunch on December 01, 2008, 07:26:15 PM Well I'm sad to report that I just replaced the chip U34 and still have the same results. I put in money - the machine takes it - Beeps and the DBV blinks red 10 times - no credits or error codes. Any other ideas?
Title: Re: Bally 5500 Bill Validator Thief Post by: jdkmunch on December 12, 2008, 08:10:58 PM Grrrrrr... I just replaced the entire MPU and I still have the same problem. So now I guess that the issue is with the DBV200. Is there anyway I can trouble shoot it? I did read some of the other posts and the manual - but I don't have a test led to see what is going on.
Title: Re: Bally 5500 Bill Validator Thief Post by: jdkmunch on December 12, 2008, 11:50:04 PM Well I got it working -
I don't know if this had anything to do with it but here is what I did - I removed the dbv and jiggled all the wires hooked it back up and went into diagnostic mode (press test until 3d shows up) then i put in a bill and it displayed the correct domination. Closed her up and - working slot machine with bills!

For future reference you might want to download the manual on a DVB-200 off of JCM's web site. http://www.jcm-american.com/support/tech_manuals.asp (http://www.jcm-american.com/support/tech_manuals.asp) Ron Title: Re: Bally 5500 Bill Validator Thief Post by: StatFreak on December 13, 2008, 07:47:43 PM ... I removed the dbv and jiggled all the wires ... I wonder if you have a loose connection or a damaged wire in the validator harness? If the problem comes back that's the first thing I'd check. |
