Hi
After i installed all chips and simms,i did key 22,said yes to all down to reboot.NORMALY AT THIS POINT,shouldn't the machine say turn off,mine says i have a error and to re try key 22.I did that three times with same results.Here is a picture of my board and error message.What do you think i need to do to fix this problem?
THANKS

Here are some photos of mine for reference.  Are all SIMM's and eproms installed in the correct orientation and in the correct slots?  I would suggest checking/reseating your chips and running through the procedure again with your key chip.

Thanks,
Jason

One more photo:

One other question...did you see a message that said to turn the jackpot key?

Jason

Also...looks like you were involved in this thread...Jim's step by step is accurate.

HI Checked all chips locations all seams to be in correct slots,but still receives the same error message

YES,I made sure i clicked yes,as i scrowed downwards turning jackpot key.

Hmmm.  Well, assuming everything is correctly installed, what happens if you put your old game back in?  Does that still work? 

Jason

Yes Jim's Instructions are outstanding,but cant get past the error message.

Here is a few more pictures.

Well, I took out my board.  Game chips look good and are installed correctly.  My 5.3 game only has one PXLF SIMM, you have 2, but yours appear to be installed correctly.  CG SIMM looks to be installed correctly as well.  Did you get an SNDF sound SIMM with your set?  I don't see an Multimedia Lite 2 board installed, so I thought I would ask.  I don't believe it's required, but you will be missing a lot of sounds if this is the case.  

Based on the label your keychip is in backwards.  Is the notched side of the 22 keychip next to the Intel i960 chip?  If it's on the other side, it's backwards.  I couldn't tell from your photo.

Jason

Do you actually get to the screen that gives you the Yes/No reset/reboot options?

Jason

Vegas,

In your first post you have the sound card installed with a CGF simm in it.  The only simm that should go in that board is a SNDF sound simm.  That may be your problem. 

Oh wow...didn't notice that.  Yep, I agree with Tilt on that one.

Jason

That was the first thing that caught my eye, but it was much later that I got to this post. Good catch tilt!

Simms are different too.  Notice that the labels are different.

I can't see that, but in my defense, I am tired, laying in bed unable to get to sleep, and viewing on a 4.3" cell phone display...

HI
Thanks to all the help.Your right the cgf simm was installed in wrong location,that was corrected early on but still received the error mesage intill Jim with BLUERIDGE ask me to swap the two pxls and install them in reverse order.And that solve it & was able to key and get past the error message.THANKS

ADMIN NOTE: THE PICTURES IN THE ABOVE POST ARE THE SAME AS POSTED EARLIER IN THIS THREAD, AND DO NOT REFLECT THE REVERSE ORDER PXL SIMMS. JUST TO PREVENT ANY FUTURE CONFUSION CH :95-

The order that the PXL simms are installed shouldn't matter, but happy to hear you got it running.   :244-

That set had a 16 and 8 meg Pixel Simm, the 8 meg has to go last in any set that uses 1 or 2 16 meg and a 8 meg Pixel

Thanks Jim, I didn't realize that.  I normally put them in order anyhow, PXLF3/4/5 as applicable.  But I have mixed them up before (not intentionally) and the game still played normally.  They must have been all 16MB PXLF simms.  Thanks and K+ for the info.
