Title: What would cause code "88FF" to show up on a Bally 6000? Post by: BR549 Auto Sales on October 04, 2012, 04:37:21 PM I have a 3 reel Bally In The Money machine that @ a month ago the power supply failed. I replaced the power supply and machine has been working fine until last night when I turned it on and got the 88FF code. What would cause this and can I just do a safe ram clear to resolve the problem?
Thanks, David Title: Re: What would cause code "88FF" to show up on a Bally 6000? Post by: CVslots on October 04, 2012, 04:39:54 PM More than likely it's a low battery....check it.

Post by: BR549 Auto Sales on October 04, 2012, 07:51:35 PM Thanks for clearing that up for me, it's at my dad's house 4 hours away so I will install a remote battery holder and show him how to do a safe ram clear so if it happens again in the future, he can bring his slot back to life. I have heard of "stay in safe ram clear chips" could I install these in his game to make the task easier in the future?
