Title: Bally 5000 - problem after keypad connection
Post by: mctuerk on April 04, 2010, 07:39:47 PM
Connected the keypad to change the credit type option and pressed keybd/clr.
All digits of the vacuum display went on and the two mpu-led keep blinking at high frequency.
Turned the machine off and restarted- no reset- no start.  :8-
I tried to do a ram clear – but nothing happens –the led keep blinking and the display burns brightly.

Thanks for any help   :131-

Hi mctuerk,

One tip is look to see that the CPU piggyback board is firmly plugged in.

Is your machine a 5000 or 5000 Plus?  Which method did you use to perform the RAM clear?

Hi Mark,

it's a 5000 (vacuum display) i have two of them. i just bought the keypad and used it for the first time.i'm afraid that i used the wrong one because someone on ebay offers a 5000 keypad that looks different from my keypad.
here is what i used - is it the wrong one?  :103-
to clear the ram i always removed j1 to j14 (working with both machines)

Hay Manfred,

Sorry but I don't have any experience with the 5000 but in my 5000plus manual they show the keypad & it looks exactly like yours.  I see the one on Ebay & the seller said "3rd party keypad" so I assume its not a genuine Bally.  Maybe someone else here on NLG can confirm that for us.  BTW- do you have a 5000 manual & does it give you the programming procedure?  The 5000plus has one & it may be similar if not identical.

the ram clear by jumper setting is working no more. i put in the mpu from the working machine - no error. copied the u12+u15 from the working one - but no difference. do i need clear chips or are the game chips corrupt now?
