As far as I can see - it looks like you're losing your time and date settings...seems to be going back to 2005!
You're getting serious errors causing a complete computer crash.
I wish I had a list of errors for your machine... :37-

I'd try swapping the chips onto another 039 board to see if the fault follows the chips.
If everything is fine with the swap - then you know your board is at fault with the embedded processor chip
or withe some other component on the main board.

Another thing to look at is the battery again.
You said you changed it out.
I'd check it out and see what the voltage reading is on it to see if it lost power during the week.
Maybe something is killing it?
Is it possible at all that that battery was bad to begin with?
I'd check it out because I think the battery is what keeps your time & date retained in the memory RAM chip.
Did you have to solder the battery in?
Could be the solder job overheated the traces going to it?
If in a battery holder/socket - then I'd check the contacts.

I know...a lot of questions - not much answers, but it's a start until someone
with more experience with the 039's chimes in!
It's just things I would take a look at for now.... :89-

I merged your other post to this post so that it does not get confusing with multiple replies in two different threads.

I have not seen those errors before.

i haven't seen this one myself but i would start by doing what the game is asking for; install the keychip! :96-  worst case would be to pull out the clear chips again and start from scratch.  did you move just the game chips?  most IGames need to be a matched set of game/base chips so if you've got a Munsters (or other IGame) base chip with your Stinkin Rich game chips you're probably not going to have much success.  good luck!! :3-

Kforeman thx for your reply i did exactly what uve said and it was working perfectly until today!!! i turned the machine on and it gave CALL ATTENDANT error , i turned the attendant key and i got this error :
EPROM SYNCHRONIZATION ERROR  -0x10000006
please anybody can tell what should i be looking for to fix this error so i wont get it again .

give us some history of the machine.  has it worked since you owned it?   and now this problem!!!

I always use the clues the machine is displaying. when the game malfunctions, what is the status of the leds on the board, particular the red led. then I check the voltages on the power supply, +13vdc/+25vdc. if the power supply is good,( power supplies usually have heat related problems, the longer they are on the problem will occur, and if the power supply is bad NOTHING else will work)  then you only have three things remaining, the board, the software, the motherboard.

sounds as if you have extra boards,  if these are known good, then  software perhaps.

that just my approach.
