Title: aristocrat mk2.5 is it dead
Post by: yabyab on July 13, 2012, 04:38:27 AM
need some help (maybe a lot) just picked up this machine there was no battery installed no Jackpot/Audit switches every thing else looks to be intact
installed a remote coin battery (3v) fished out what i believe to be the Jackpot/Audit wires and attached switches.don't know which is which
turn it on some buttons light up then go out screen come on as you can see for photos.
tried a couple of thing from other post with no luck
every thing seems to be frozen or not working the message on top of the screen flashes between call attendant and metering error
don't know where to start.
any help would be very much appreciated
still only very new to this

Hi mate,
As Proten said it needs a ram clear as pixels are muddled & probably says metering error
follow instructions exactly & it will clear.

First you will need to find out which wires are for the meter switch.
Connect two wires and look for the meter screen to come up.
The connect the other two wires and keep connected.
Open the door and hold the left three
red buttons on the CPU. Then it will say "Meter Reset"
, close door and turn both keys back off. Game should be ready to play.

Allot of the older slots don't need set chips.
If its a Video slot then the reset instructions below will get it going.

You can start with step #7.

Hi guys thanks for all your help got into the meter set 1 screen but then it comes up with a main-door switch fault and wont let me go any further. i presume that's the white switch that the door hits when closed checked it with a continuity tester and it seemed to work? checked the door optics replaced the transmiter now i can see it flashing away threw the camera but don't know how to test the receive
