Title: WMS 550 and WBA set up SOLVED...THANKS JIM ! Post by: cp on June 28, 2010, 12:23:43 PM Working on a 550 Williams video upright. ( Reel Em In / single screen ). I installed an LCD monitor. After clearing, my WBA will not cycle. The 2 small led lights on the WBA are lit. I have a known good I/O. Dip switches 1 & 2 are all off ( no jumpers )
Posting a picture of the Screen showing that the machine has a jcm 145/146 installed :103- As I remember, some of the 550 's had a small board attached in the Bill Validator wiring harness. This machine has no board. Doesn't look like one was ever mounted on the back side of the cash can BV assembly. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Title: Re: WMS 550 and WBA set up Post by: cp on June 28, 2010, 01:04:51 PM WBA 13 installed. ....there is a very small board attached to the left / bottom (plug-in) side of the WBA... perhaps it is not a "good" board ?? I'll pull the board off and install it in another WBA.
Pulled the small (RS-232 )board off the WBA that came with machine ... re-installed on another WBA... It initialized and now is working ! THANKS JIM ... YOU DA MAN ! !

( My "original" WBA 13 with the RS232 board attached must have had an issue from the git-go ) Attached picture of Service/ Revision screen now...

It is, that is a WMS product, the one on the side of the BV is a JCM product, either one will work, just easier having in the game, the earlier cabinets had the bv mounted one, later ones the cabinet one, never use both, try a different eprom in the 13 that doesn't work, possibly bad or wrong software, btw WMS is not the only manufacturer that uses the RS-232, the reason it came up after clear is the BV wasn't found, same thing would happen if it was removed when cleared, the 145 was just the default with that O/S, glad it worked out |
