Power Up Issues

[grimor]

I have a Juggler Pachislo machine that has some problems in the power up process.

When I first purchased the machine, it worked fine but started doing more or less the same thing it is doing now. (see video) The place I purchased it from sent out a new power supply and it fixed the problem briefly. I've had it more or less in storage for years. I saw a juggler power supply on ebay and i guess they aren't all the same, not even close to the same connectors. Just motivated to get it going, I got rid of all my video pachislo, this has always been my fav so I kept it.

In the video, you can see powering on without the light board connected, then connected, and disconnected again.

Having the bin connected doesn't seem to impact the operation either way (it's disconnected in the video)

A hard reset does not make any difference right? Or do you not have the reset/settings key?

I have a key, wasn't entirely sure what the procedure was for a heard reset. Found instructions here..
e-slot.com Pachislo Owner's Manual - Reset Procedures

I'll try it the next time I have the machine open and I'll post the results.

Here are the usual PachiTalk instructions:

Most errors are usually remedied with a full reset, so just to double check that you are carrying out the complete hard reset

Here is some info that explains how to reset a pachislo, as part of this process it includes how to change and set the skill level, you must follow all steps carefully

"How To Set the Skill Levels of Your Pachislo
HOW CHANGE ODDS:

"TURN YOUR MACHINE OFF FIRST"

1. Locate internal key switch, and insert key.
Note: In order to change odds, machine must be in idle mode with no tokens/coins or credits being played and off.

2. Turn "reset" key switch to on, to access programming mode.

3. Turn on machine now.

4. Depending on machine type, a number from 1 to 6 will be displayed on one of the LED meters on front door. (please note on some models the numbers could be displayed inside the machine)

5. Locate and push Skill button. Depress button and notice movement of number being displayed in LED meter.

6. Once desired level is displayed (1 to 6), push down on play handle (Joy Stick) for 10 seconds, and depress both "BET CREDITS" and "COLLECT CREDITS" buttons to lock odds level into machine memory.

7. Turn "reset" key back to off.

8. Machine should immediately initialize. If not, turn power switch to the OFF position, wait 15 seconds and turn power switch back to ON position.


Also just to confirm some additional info (from member Chrisdice) regarding hard reset

Two switches on the power supply:
- One requires a soft reset at the end of a bonus.
- The other pays out all tokens at the end of a bonus.

For these switches in most cases off is in the down or right position. The for off and on are:

無 = off

有 = on





and Welcome to PachiTalk!!

I didn't find a skill button, my number just stays at 1.

The machine is still acting very weird. If I let it sit and power it on, it behaves the way in the video. If I disconnect the top lights and the florescent light board then it will let me do a reset, then I have to do a switch off, plug in top lights, switch on, switch off, plug in florescent light board, turn on in reset mode and then turn the key back to off and it will work fine.

Turning it off and letting it sit for 10 min, and I have to repeat the weird power on process. It needs cleaned, about every 10th token I put in it starts to alarm like I was beating it or something and has to be reset again to make it shutup.

the skill button could either be on the power supply or on the inside of the door. its usually very small and red
