It is, the reason I was pondering a USB failure of the mainboard / headers was because the errors shown earlier seemed to alternate between missing cabinet key and the usual MPU comms error. 8 hours ago, andrew96 said: eh..... how did you come to that conclusion? was the status light flashing 2 red and 12 green? I don't remember that. are you just stabbing in the dark? Diagnosing over the internet, with just photos, is a pain in the arse Mind you before I smashed my last T7 up, I'd got it going several times with random stabs in the dark. Bloody things.

spa Posted August 27, 2024 Report Share Posted August 27, 2024 Thats cool. In my experience that error has been fixed with a new board. Just 1 time it was the cable. Never had the program card, so lucky there https://www.facebook.com/groups/264122764904452/?epa=SEARCH_BOX Fruit Machine Discussion - Facebook Group.

andrew96 Posted August 27, 2024 Report Share Posted August 27, 2024 (edited) ah well I have only dealt with non working ones, that's what I used to do , trouble is there is too many variables here with things being swapped out and nothing is looked at fully or any notice of what is said to help, we will see what the OP says but I am on the verge of being "I'm out" on this one.

spa Posted August 31, 2024 Report Share Posted August 31, 2024 Test the battery. If it's not over 3 it's for the bin https://www.facebook.com/groups/264122764904452/?epa=SEARCH_BOX Fruit Machine Discussion - Facebook Group.

andrew96 Posted August 31, 2024 Report Share Posted August 31, 2024 I wouldn't advise that as it will mean breaking the seal on it, will make it difficult to return, it doesn't work because of a battery error, faulty goods, return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mutchw Posted September 25, 2024 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2024 @SocialDragon368 i've just recently installed a brand new MPU5...when i turned the machine on, it showed this before it went onto the loading page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew96 Posted September 25, 2024 Report Share Posted September 25, 2024 (edited) Not enough information really, It LOOKS like you have now added a different MPU5 program card into the mix as well. but its always good to say what exactly you have done. Its like saying 'my car wont start whats wrong' it could be anything without knowing whats going on all green lights on the mpu for example Edited September 25, 2024 by andrew96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
