HI,

The machine is either reseting as a safety reaction to something that can damage your board or you have some lose cables in your power supply. Normally those CF1 machines can get very hot so you can add some extra fans for the board and power supply. Sometimes, the power supplies are changed to generic ones and if the Watt is different that the original it causes this. Since this has so many roots it might take time to solve. A day's work.

Best Regards,

I have one that keeps restarting when printing a ticket. I know its power supply problem but haven't found out yet whats wrong in the power supply.
Hope this helps to narrow the possible causes.

High consumption of printer to print a ticket? 24VDC power supply is weak? Bad contact in the power connector (high contact resistance connection - the voltage drop)?

I don't know, i have a Legend of the Sphinx, a Hypno Hippo, an American Hot Slot, a Jolly Joker and a Phoenicia.
The tags on the machines say 'Admiral Novomatic Gaminator'.
I'm attaching some pics so you have a better idea.

more pics...

none of them start.
power supply starts, fan on the mother board starts, all lights in the machines are on.
But screens stay black.
I plugged a different screen (that i know is working) but same result.

These are very old machines, which unfortunately I do not know and certainly do not call Gaminator.
Gaminators are usually multi video games with two lcd screen.

No, nothing at all.
Screen stays black.
 :103-

I managed to start the JOLLY JOKER Poker machine.
It's problem was a bad screen.
For all the others the screen is not the problem.
Swapt it with an old 19 inches DELL Desktop screen... Works like a charm !
Only (minor) problem is : It's in German  :279-
Any idea how to change it to english ?
I don't have any keys for it.
Short cuircuiting the cables gets me in a menu but it's read only. And there is no LANGUAGE menu.
I will receive new Reset Locks this week so I'll try to enter in the setup menus... if i can.
thanks !
