IGT KENO Machine Screen goofed up, any help?

[jay]

Just go to the top of the screen, click on submit a new file. There is a list of files. Click on the Fortunes to have them download.

Been a while since I worked on one of these, but I seem to recall a small reset button added on the main (yellow) cpu board. Whenever this problem
occurred, which seemed to be when the power pulsed, all we had to do was press the sw.  Unfortunately, I don't recall exactly where it was connected, but think it was tied between ground and batt +.  Just a quick push did the trick.  Sorry I can't remember any more, we haven't had
those on our floor for 10 years.

Hi Al,
Thanks for trying to help me.
My machine has two boards. Both are the same color. The board with the battery on it, has a small micro switch on it, that appears to be some sort of modification. Anyway, I powered up the machine and pressed the button....but no change in my problem.
I am still unsure, of whether I have a Fortune I or II machine. I have an IGT Fortune I book, put out by Liberty Belle Books, that shows that a Fortune I Poker machine has only one board that is mounted up on top of the monitor. My machine (Keno) has two boards mounted on the left hand side, under the monitor.
The cabinet style is also different than the one shown as a Fortune I machine. I would like to know what the heck I have here. I am attaching a picture showing the inside of the machine.
Best regards,
Jerry

Al-

Welcome to  .  Thank you for trying to help one of our members.  At least you've worked on one of these in the past -- most of us following this thread haven't seen one of these before and aren't able to offer much more than very general suggestions.



To that end...

I posted my/our problem again in another posting

There really isn't a need to start multiple topics in different sections for the same machine with the same problem -- our regular members check out all of the new postings, regardless of location.  When there are multiple threads going on for the same machine, it's very difficult to keep track of what has been suggested and tried, and often results in people suggesting the same things in the different posts because they didn't know it had already been suggested.

I understand that you want to get your machine working ASAP and the frustration of it not working (I've been there with my machines, trust me!), but what's happening with your issue is that there simply aren't a lot of people on here with knowledge of your machine or the problem, hence the lack of replies.  Do keep this thread alive by posting whatever progress you've made, or things you've tried, but no need to start new posts for this one.  Hopefully, in time, someone will have the info you need to get you back up and running.  I do hope that you get your machine working, too!

Thanks for the advice. I'm pretty new at using this site, so I will most likely be making mistakes in using it properly. Please bear with me. I'll try not to create more disruption.

[knagl]

No worries, and you're not creating disruption -- we're a very friendly bunch here (in fact, one of the greatest groups of people I've ever encountered on any message forum).  We're glad to have you here, and I hope that we'll be able to get your machine back up and running.

Just wondering if anyone ever got one of these machines working yet or does anyone know someone that can test the boards to see what one is bad even if they cant repair them?

[jay]

I got mine working.
You need he aforementioned chip.

My problem was that the little side board with the pen needs a good ground so when I was trying to get this to work my pen and side bord was not attached to the chassis and no real ground had been established.

[knagl]

Jay, correct me if I'm mis-remembering, but wasn't your light pen keno a PE+? This is a Fortune II.

[jay]

Yes PE+ with Light Pen.

Hi mwade109,
I don't know specifically, what problems you are having with your machine. My machine, the one pictured at the top of this file, is now working. I was able to get a replacement board on ebay, and it did the trick. Most recently the same seller had both boards listed for sale, but the listing #281021247496 has ended. Maybe, he has more of same. It could be worth looking into.
Good luck with your machine.
Jerry

I am told mine is a Fortune II machine but Jerry,  my boards sure look identical to the ones you got on ebay.  I had started a new thread the other day with all the pictures of my machine.  maybe we can get to the bottom of what kind it is.

I will also email that eBay seller but if he does not hav any more and after you look at the pics I have posted,  if you determine that my machine is the same model as yours,  would you be willing to test my biards and light pen board and let me know what ones are bad by putting them into your machine?  I would be glad to pay you for your time.  Please let me know.  Here is the link to my post:
