I am looking for a working "Magical Tonic" by Pal, cherry master 8liner PCB. I have exhausted every research place I can find to get this. I do have a board now, But it does not work. Upon boot up I get the message blinking "Wait". I have tried to splice in a 3.6 volt battery with alligator clips as a first trouble shoot method but that did not help. The battery on the main board doesn't have a voltage I can read. I sure there is someone that is way smarter than I that has and Idea. "Magic Odds" the cousin of this board is way more common so if someone has found this same problem, it may fix mine. Thank for any replies. waving flag Maybe a person would have a place that works on these also.

I've got 3 of these boards.  1 works, two do not.  They apparently have a suicide CPU on them.  If left in storage too long, they die.  I'm lucky at least one still works!  I have tied repairing the others, but no luck.

Nope.  Once they're dead, it's forever.  A Japanese gambling board that is too old to get a new custom CPU is no good except for scrap......sorry.

Well first of all, unless the battery leaked on the board and broke a few traces, it has nothing to do with the board booting up. The battery is just there to keep the board settings when the machine isn't powered up, you must have some other problem. What is this "suicide cpu" theory you guys are throwing around ?
