Pachislo Bingo Unresponsive

[ckelley03]

Hello! I am a newbie and in need of some assistance. I just purchased a Pachislo Bingo slot machine from somebody last night. It worked great when I picked it up. Everything lit up and functioned as it should. Something must have happened in the drive home though, because now it doesn't seem to work right. When I plug it in, and turn it on, it's unresponsive. The lights turn on, so I know it gets power. But the only thing that shows up is a '3' on the WIN line. It doesn't respond to any buttons, and it doesn't respond to any tokens that I put in. I've tried Googling and haven't found much help. Most of the help online are for totally different machines. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thank you in advance for anybody who tries to help!

Sounds like it's in reset mode. try turning the power on. pressing the spin lever, then turning the key on the sliver psu box by the payout hopper

WELCOME!!!

After trying what Clam says, I would try the full reset procedure.. After that it would be time to start checking wires and connectors, unplugging and reseating them!! Stuff can often come loose in transport!!

Reset/switches

Not sure if you have been doing the full reset (usually referred to here as the hard reset) it includes changing or setting the odds as part of the procedure

as follows:

"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.

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 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
