Title: Re: need help with a ballys black and white machine Post by: rslots on April 11, 2010, 12:42:38 PM Could be any number of things at this point. Did you try a power off and restart? Get a code 80 again after restart? 80 usually means a bad main chip. What is the year listed on your mains (U3 & U4 and U12 & U15). Might be able to do a RAM clear with just a jumper if you have the right mains. Are the reels energized? Is the diplay lit up at all (i.e any digits anywhere)? Let's see how you answer these questions and go from there.

Title: Re: need help with a ballys black and white machine Post by: rslots on April 11, 2010, 01:44:24 PM My apologies. From the topic category I saw bally 5500 so thought you had a S5500 pro slot (One of my favorites). Looks like you have an S6000 pro slot. Never mind about the possibility of jumpering to clear RAM since can only do that on the S5500. The 6000 can be a little bit more tricky. The mains on it are located at U28 & U43. However, lets focus more on the so called 'Heartbeat". Sounds like you may have a power supply going out. See if you can determine if the sound is coming from the power supply. Feel free to give me a call at 801-450-9181 as I can probaby better help you better over the phone.
