Indiana Jones FEVER Screen Help...

[JSpirtos]

Alright everyone this is what happens.
1) get a ball in the top of the skull
2) The reels spin I get 2 of the same numbers and it goes to the reach board where it tries to get the third number.
3) I get the third number.
4) My machine then says fever and all the characters are there. The arms on the skull open up and my balls go in and I get paid out. THE SCREEN NEVER CHANGES AWAY FROM THE CHARACTERS. SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS GO OFF BUT THE SKULL STILL OPENS AND CLOSES.
5) Sometimes the fever will stop and INDY WILL WALK DOWN A HALLWAY. IM ASSUMING THAT YOU WANT THE 3 NUMBERS ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT TO MATCH ALL THREE (I HAVE NOT HAD THIS HAPPEN YET) EVENTUALLY IT GOES BACK TO THE BEGINNING SCREEN WHERE YOU JUST TRY TO GET THE BALL IN THE SKULLS HEAD.

During the fever there is never a countdown and never any video from the movie playing.

The same thing is happening to my pachinko. I get no film clips or description boxes, just the FEVER screen (Indy on horse back on the left, "FEVER" text in the center and bobbled head characters on the bottom). The skull's blue flame doors open and close in unison though there is no payout (maybe I don't have enough balls in the payout tank above?). The main title song cycles f-o-r-e-v-e-r and then eventually it turns into Indy walking down a hallway. My pachinko carries the same numbers (3&4&10&14 - CRSAKP004 - SA-H2-D) as sstan24, has a white cabinet face and carries a tan old world globe map with Harrison Ford's image on the left play field (see my profile image).

I looked at the Indy films in the Pachinko Museum portion of this site and am curious about the videos.

1) The first/top video in drcrippen324 post I have never seen.
2) The fist video in arbycoffee post (the opening/start screen) I've never seen.

Can anyone help?

The one in Doc's video I believe is the one I have now??

it has a blue cell, and I thought we had deduced that the red cells were a different model
and therefore different Spec regarding pay out / ratio??


It could be that some of the Video is not available on that model??

Although it's been a long time since I actually played mine,
and I think you need someone with the same model as yours to compare them perhaps??

[JSpirtos]

I can live with the fact that my pachinko maybe a different model though it still seems weird that my reward would be a hanging video screen, repeating audio theme and no payout? I assumed that the difference was odds, not a lesser machine than the blue cell version (if the latter is the case then I feel cheated).

I just have no idea what am I supposed to do when I get to this hanging fever screen. I get more than enough balls in the top of the scull and flame door sides though this doesn't change a thing.

hmmm dose sound strange i would have thought that all the indys show video footage like the one i posted just the payout was diffrent instead of 4 balls for a start pocket (skull) oyu get 3 and instaed of 15 balls for a fever gate you get 10 hmmmm sounds silly open your glass and poke a ball in the start pocket and see what it pays it should mach the first number on the side of your sell ie 3 then gently open the fever gate (under the scull bigger flap ) i cant remember if its alarmed so dont be supprised if your pachi kicks off at you but drop a ball in the fever gate and see what it pays out you may find that out of the 2 payout parts on the motor only one is paying out hence the machine is hanging on you and not paying out anything as it uses both sides of the payout motor during fevers to be able to keep up with the high demand hope this makes sence to you

[JSpirtos]

If I get home early enough from work I'll post a simple walk though with pictures and video. Maybe that might shed some light.

[fronzdan]

That is definitely a different model than the one I have. My cell has both Indy and Henry on the cell face. This behavior sounds exactly like what SStan described. I think at the time, the consensus was that there might be a ROM issue. I don't know what ever happened with that machine.

[JSpirtos]

Now before I start taking footage and documentation is there a true factory reset I can do? I know about holding down the button below the power switch, waiting for the two beeps and letting go though is there anything else I should be doing?

[dattia]

I hope you didn't get sstan24's machine

[JSpirtos]

I know, it does seem odd to have the same numbers.

I'm at work right now, once I get home I'll start posting the rundown and hopefully see what we can come up with.

I wished there was some sort of resolution in sstan24 thread that might help. I'm starting to get really worried.

[dattia]

Honestly, we have never heard of a problem like that here before. It just seems strange that this would come up twice in such a short period of time. It looks like sstan24 was going to contact the vendor for resolution. You didn't happen to buy from the same vendor did you?

[JSpirtos]

I got mine through http://slot-pachinko.com/

Ruh-Roh!

oh how the plot thickens

[hanabi]

Oh dear, so this is looking like it could be the same machine...

[bfree]

Only a six month warranty...Call A.S.A.P. !!!

[JSpirtos]

Guess what? It is the same machine, it's got to be. I can verify all the numbers to be identical except one, "No. 153862", this is printed on top of "SA - H2 - D". Since there is no mention of this in sstan24 original thread I can't 100% confirm it.

I called slot-pachinko.com, told them that they sold me a damaged machine, they apologized for the inconvenience up and down. Now I have to detach the Pachinko from the cabinet, find it's feet, repack it and schedule a pick up.


AARRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!

Wow...That's a bummer. They'll make right with it...There good people. I've bought two machines from them, and The Indy I got from them had 7 bad bulbs. Theye replaced the bulbs very quickly. See if you can get an extra set of bulbs or balls from there for your trouble.

[dattia]

Obviously, they are willing to make good, since they took the machine back from sstan24. What worries me is if they didn't really believe the machine had issues and relisted it. Perhaps they were unable to duplicate the problem. At any rate, if this is in fact the same machine... sstan24 was taken care of and you will be too. Good luck!

[fronzdan]

What are the chances??? If this dud shows up again, I'm playing the lottery and using that serial number.

It probably came back, they plugged it in and thought...works for me. Doh!

[Sid]

it will be interesting to see thats for sure..
