Title: Bally Alpha not booting up
Post by: keystone9 on May 27, 2013, 12:04:51 PM
Have a Bally Alpha Video, M9-2,  "Winning Times" that is not booting up after the splash screen. Any ideas where to go from here? Thanks. Bill

Bill have you checked the power supplies?
Then I would try a clear with the proper clear card.
If that doesn't resolve the issue, look into a CPU replacement.

 I will look into that. How do I know what is the proper clean card and where do I get one? Thanks

Bill,
You know they take about 18 min. To fully boot.

Hi Lindsay. Yes I heard that before. That's an awful long time but I'll try it again. Anything to shorten that time? Bill. Also It's just a blank screen after the splash screen while I'm waiting.

To know what clear card is needed, you would have to post what operating system your using.

Can you tell me where I can find out which OS I am using? Is it on the flash cards? Thanks. I found an AVOS# 317-02 on the top flash card.

That's it! Your running OS 317.

I checked the 2 batteries on the board and they are dead. Will this stop the game from booting?

I do believe so, but do not know for sure.
I did have a machine throw an error code and lock up when only one battery was low.
I had to perform a complete clear to bring the machine back up after replacing the batteries.

Bill,

If the batteries are dead you will need a clear CF b4 you can boot
