007 hell

[drcrippen324]

ok iv sorted all the past issuses some of you knew i had with 007 but im stuck with one that i cant cure when the machine came in it had the option of swapping between modern and clasic mode with a press of the chance button as long as there was no balls in play and no spins banked

well having entered the programing mode to sort another issue i now cant get the option to swap between modern and classic to work no matter what i do i have even left the machine without power for a couple of weeks to see if a real hard reset would work and it hasent nor has a reset off the main button and im at a loss has any one come across this or got any ideas

there is 2 program modes for 007 one entered by turning the machine off holding the reset button and a button on the back of the main bord (this is the one that stopped me swapping modes) and another that changes the odds (yest the first machine you can do this with ) and also alters a few other things and this is entered by turning off the machine and holding the reset button and the chance button while restarting the machine

any help or ideas realy welcome as im loosing what little sanity i have left with this machine

[owennewton]

real basic question but is the chance button working?

just a thought

[drcrippen324]

yeh chance button is fine as i have tried it with another cell and in another frame also i use the chance button to access one of the programming modes

nice thought though owen thanks

[arbycoffee]

Try holding the chance button down as you shut it off ?

[compirate]

Sounds like you need the manual (that black and white manual like we see on YJA every now and then). Nothing up right now, but you might have Kia message a couple of the people selling manuals to see if they have/can get one.

[arbycoffee]

When all else fails "get the manual" a man thing about first doing with out.

[drcrippen324]

i got a copy of the programing guide from the resurch center (good ol arby) but to no avail there also the black and white manual will only be in japanes so wont be much help but thanks for teh ideas guys

tryed teh holdin gchance but it didnt work thanks arby

i got a copy of the programing guide from the resurch center (good ol arby)

The guides that Arby has scanned and posted in the research center are just promotional material rather than programming guides. They tell you what the machine can do, and that it's got a fancy new settings menu (and a little about how to navigate in these menus), but they don't really give you any useful information about what these setting actually do.

Of course, if anyone can get me a scan of the actual cell manual (ie the B&W one), I can have a read of it and see if I can understand what it says about the various settings available, as this manual is likely to have the more useful information in it.

BTW according to the spec, there's no mention about changing the overall odds of the machine. The real time clock feature can be set to enable high probability modes being triggered at certain times. You can also adjust the probability of a reach hitting a fever during these high probability times, though it doesn't say whether this means that you're more likely to hit a fever from the same number of reaches, or if you'll just get a smaller number of reaches to give the same overall probability.

[drcrippen324]

ahh my mistake on that part i thought the high probability mode basicaly was altering the odds so there was more chance of a fever thus altering the odds of winning

i will see if i can lay my hands on the b&w copy of the manual befor i lay my fist on ths cell

[garfield]

The fact that these machines have a hard reset function, indicates either flash memory or a battery back upped static memory. If the last is true, there should be a battery cell somewhere that you can unplug or short out.

Just an idle assumption of course

[drcrippen324]

Thanks garfield but alas no its flash memory and it stays had the one bord off for over a month now while i was trying to sort the other and even that one when plugged back in to the cell still retained its memory and no battory in site trust me the amount of work iv done on this one i would have found it

It appears that when you entered the programming mode, the changes you may have made to resolve another problem need to be undone. Then check to see if the switch starts working again. If it does, then you will have to find another way to resolve the other problem.

[drcrippen324]

worth a try but all i did was alter the time and date to the correct one and cant remember the origonal time and date that was there

i will try and alter it back to japanese time a few hours ahead of here though and see if that helps

[arbycoffee]

I am also looking for a manual for the 007
If I grt , I will post copies.

[drcrippen324]

would be apriciated if you find one pls tell me as i dont want to bid against you and thus increase the price to both of us

[arbycoffee]

well do
