I am having a problem with the individual lamps in the back box. In test it seems like they are one off what they should be, some are correct, but a few are off. In test it should be "dog" but the question mark is lit on the back box, then I check the next one which says "question mark" but the alarm 3 is lit? I resat the connectors, thinking maybe a diode problem but I don't see any individual diodes? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

No just got it in a trade. Only resat the connectors on the lamp board and made sure the back box boards were pushed on.

Yes they are factory, boards are all original, some of the controlled lamps are correct some are not?

So it could be a bad chip, I did see those on the lamp pcb, but unfortunately I can fix alot, but not to savy at chip repair.

Is there an easy way to check them?

Looks like a little more than half are off by one, and on a couple 2 lights will light in test, say I have teller in test and the question mark lights with it. That made me think possibly a diode, but it's not like a conventional lamp pcb.

Mine is running an older rom version 1.2, i ordered 1.8 today, maybe that will help, but i dont think its a rom issue, i read all the revisions since the 1.2 and there is no mention of a fix for this.

Ya not from Arizona, it be interesting to see what rom version the others ones are running.

Vid would be great.

How can you check them?

Mine are confused during the board game, and test, but are fine in attract mode?

No, if it lands on the bribe it gives me the next one like question mark, but only on about 70 percent of them.

So, the game is from out of the country, i rewired the jumper, but thought i had read somewhere that the dip switches were all supposed to be one way, so i checked and they were not, thought this could be the problem, switched them all one way, but no change, still same problem, bummer.

I will try and get some video today.

Here are a couple small videos of the backbox lamp problem im having. Sorry the vids are not the greatest, i used my cell. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Mike Paris

Thanks Chris, hopefully someone can post a pic of the manual pages Chris needs, mine did not come with one and i have been using the online one also from IPDB.

So alot of mine are off, could all those chips go bad? I think only 8 are correct.

Had a friend send pics of the connectors to make sure the wires were correct and in order, thought maybe wired wrong from the factory, but they match, still trying to figure this out.

Could it just be a bad diode? My D54 (one of the bigger ones) reads a little different than the others?

So i got the latest rom today (1.8) and was hoping it would solve the problem since the old rom was 1.2, but did not. So i guess i will need to have someone come look at it that can hopefully figure it out.

Generalgman, let me know when you change the 4094's and if they worked out for you. Thanks

Still looking for any advice. Thanks

I would if i knew how. I know how to test diodes, but how do you test chips?

Great news! Will have to do that.

Does anyone know the value of these two resistors? The ones with the red ovals. I cant see from the manual, the print is to small. Thanks Mike

Bump

So even though the one is Gold/Red/Blue/Red and not Gold/Red/Blue/Brown its still just a 1K? The other one matches the 10K.

Hi, wow forgot about this thread, but I did replace all the 4094 chips and socketed them, after everything worked great, I agree would one of the sockets needs to be checked. Mike
