Hi guys after installing a new game board resetting static ram
and then setting up as if a new machine

 I get play suspended errors P1 through to P6 ???

Any ideas of meaning and fix?

Iv gone through the service manual but can't find anything

It's a MVP machine running a mk6 xp board with the door and back plane mods done.

What causes these errors? They were not there untill I modified machine settings?

Also australian machine and board

That is the Lab Com Board
The MK6 board may not like the Lab Com  board.

Thanks proten

I will chase up a mk6 lab com board

I don't think they make one.
The MK6 uses a I/O board and
the Com board for a MK6 looks like a Computer Memory Sim .

Is that located on the main board of the mk6 or does it reside in the lab comms location?

Cheers

It plugs into the MPU board.
Look at the MK VI book it will show you the diferance.

All your P1 - P6 errors are from the comms pcb the one on the right under the mainboard in the security cage,
there are 6 ports which link the machine to the government montoring system ( CMS ) which is P2 the other ports are for jackpot links etc.
If your ports have no plugs in them you will get those lockups appear, two choices you can bridge out the ports or get the blanking plugs which do the same.
EGM will not function until this has been done or you run QLD or NZ software which does not require the comms PCB.

Awsome thanks find4auto any diagrams around for making up the blank plugs?

I did wonder about the 6 empty plugs on that board

I could supply them for you $20 posted, you will need to Ppal $$.
PM me if you want them, have plenty

Just short or jump pins 6&8. Pins 7&9 on each plug. Those are the pins to bypass

All ports from lab board to have switch backs in them to make operate. I have loads of boards and switch backs .  Same board and switch backs fit the MK 5 S 11 as well. Email me if you have probs

Here is a pic of the board you require, As Gaming1 says just put the links in (Get them from Jaycar)
Cheers.
