Title: Bally 5500 won't boot
Post by: beauimpala on March 16, 2013, 02:38:58 AM
Trying to help a friend out.  He told me he had an 81 error on the screen.  I know enough about these things that this means just a simple battery replacement.  He told me he hadn't turned the game on for over a year, and this was on the display.  No problemo.  Well when I get out there to fix I turn it on to verify the error and the screen is just blank.  There is nothing on the LCD display.  Well...........I knew it had a battery problem so I repaired that, but still get nothing on the display.  What I can I do to get this thing to even begin to boot up?

Check the power supply, they have been known to fail on these, especially in the cold.

Welcome to the site.

Thanks,
Wayne
