The only thing that I could think of is that you are stuck in the "menus" on startup. See if the battery on the mpu is low and replace it, then see if the board is seated properly. If you have the knowledge, do a full clear also. And also check that the reset switch (white button) is not stuck in the closed position.

I was thinking maybe the battery also. The machine has been working fine. This just started yesterday.
I am familure with changing the battery on the igt S+ and PE + machines.  I will have to read up on the bally
Thanks for the reply!  Jim  :88-

81xx is the error code for a low battery.  You will need to replace the battery then perform a complete saferam clear on the machine.

I put a list of codes below.

Thanks,
Wayne
