Title: Bally 5500 reset Post by: toms5500 on February 18, 2011, 04:16:24 AM I have a bally 5500. Got error code 81 so replaced battery. Then got error code 83f, got clear chips. I held the required buttons in for 10 min then gave up. I heard various sounds then the same lights on the coin bin repeatedly lit up. When I tried again nothing happened. Any suggestions? Much appreciated.

After you install the clear chip and re-install the board, you need to hold the buttons down with the machine off, and continue holding them while you flip the power on. Is that what you were doing?

I've got a new board coming so we'll see. Thanks to everyone who gave advice to me. This is a great site and I will use it more in the future as i am really getting into these slots.
