Title: code 64-1
Post by: longstar1 on December 27, 2008, 10:25:39 PM
This code keeps coming up on a Top Dollar BarCrest.  I cannot get it to clear.  Checked all the wiring and everything seems to be plugged in tight. Any suggestions appreciated greatly.   :103-

This is a communications error between the lower IGT computer
and the upper Barcrest computer. Chances are the upper Barcrest
power supply is not working. This is easy to check as the Barchrest
CPU has a red LED on it (behind the power supply) If the LED is lit,
chances are good the barcrest P.S. is good. If the LED is off, the
power supply is bad.

I have found many cracked solder joints
on this power supply. there are two upright cards on the P.S.
which are about 2"x2". Where they attach to the main P.S. board
the solder joints often crack. This is a bitch to resolder as the
whole P.S. will need to be taken apart to do it.

I had that problem on my Barcrest game last week ( I've had it a few times before actually ). CHF is exactly right ; it is a communication error. I usually get it when I move my game around or even sometimes from opening and closing the door alot.  Try this.  Take off the top glass . Loosen  the 2 black knobs that hold the top unit in place. Slide the  inner part of the top unit towards you 2-3 inches and push it firmly back in , Hold the unit in and tighten the 2 knobs ....   Bill
