Do you know what model the machine is? The more information that you provide makes it easier for the folks here to help you. Pictures help a lot also.

Thanks for your response.  I just bought 3 of these bally machines.  Sent the boards out to have them "redone"  not sure if that just means new battery installed or what.   Then i put the board in and the first on flashes 54 and 22 and now the second one fashes 54 and 30.   The model # on the side plate reads S62M3CT10 and manufactured 2/95.  Not sure how to tell what model it is.  Will try to get pics up.  Thanks for your help.

I found out the model is a 5500.  I did a partial ram clear and that cleared all the codes.  But now when i drop a coin in it drops straight through to the tray.  Any advice on what might cause that.  Thank you Rick

[hrsepwr64]

I finally got all the codes to clear on this machine but now when i drop a coin it drops to the tray.  Any advice?? Thank you Rick

[hrsepwr64]

No you weren't. He started another thread with the same question and I merged them, so you didn't know that he solved the problem when you posted.

Sorry Ford.
