Hi,
I am new to the board and am looking for some help. I have a CDS "american pride" 3 reel slot machine, it has worked great since I bought it about a year ago. Reciently I moved and somehow during transport the game decided to hate me.
When I went to turn on the machine after the move the lcd display read "v2.27a" once then scrolled "system error!" over and over. I have been told that I need a 2.27a birth chip but I have found them impossible to locate. can I just swap out the main board instead? does any one have any ideas that may bring this thing back to life?

Symptoms:
displays "V2.27a" then "system error!"
all lighting works
no plugs or boards are loose
bill acceptor resets on startup
will not accept coins or bills
will let me scroll through programming index (with key)

Thank you for you time,
Dana.

When working on previous CDS machines with the same problem I tried swapping MPU to no avail, looks like the only answer is the Birth Chips, sorry to say. The one and only thing I have hated about CDS has to be Birth Chips.


cheers

You should be able to turn the audit key forward, scroll down to initialization and enter, and then follow the menu driven instructions for a sequence of pushing deck buttons to re-initialize.  If it will not allow you to highlight and enter 'Initialization', then you're out of luck and need the Birth Chips.
