My sound stopped working on an Eight Ball Deluxe LE that I just got (within hours of purchase). There is no music and no voice sounds. When I turn up the volune I hear very light static. I do not have a manual.
What steps do I need to go through to check it? Any suggestions?
Quoted from newbieinKC:There are two pots on the squawk and talk board. Twist them to and fro a few times. Could just be dirty. I had that problem with my machine that would squawk but not talk.
Is there any chance you have a pic of these 2 areas you are mentioning
I tested and recorded both the S&T board and the main board. I cannot upload here for some reason.
The S&T box led blinks once...pauses...blinks 3 times quickly...pauses...blinks 2 times quickly.
The main led does a half blink...full blink...pauses...then 6 blinks
Quoted from newbieinKC:If you are going to be fixing this yourself, I have a deal for you. I ordered a back box tech chart for my game from Marco. They picked the wrong one from the shelf and sent me one for your game. I offered to return it, but they told me to keep it. I don't plan on using it. I will mail it to you if you think you will use it. Send me a pm with your address.

Awesome! Thank you! I will message now.
I have gone through it and i just cant seem to find the issue. My next step may be to change the caps...but i find it strange that it worked just fine (from a trusted seller and i played it quite a few times before buying), and within hours of me getting it home it stopped working.
Maybe there is something i am overlooking.
Quoted from newbieinKC:When you moved it, did you take off the backboard or just fold it down? Seems like there must be a bad connection somewhere. Post pics of your board and how it is hooked up to the APU and Power Transformer.
I just folded it down. I will put up some pics
Quoted from newbieinKC:It is probably not this way for all Bally machines, but my model seems to be famous for having short leads. If I fold down the backboard, several of the wiring harnesses get tight. I would probably risk either disconnecting something or possibly damaging pins on the control board if I moved my machine with the backboard just laying down.
Sorry, i was just talking to soneone about a different pin and i overlapped. This pin doesnt fold down. I had to get a truck to transport it.
