A guy I know has what he called a 1994 ballys slot machine.

It was working fine, until he hit a jackpot. Problem was there wasn't enough money in there to pay the jackpot so it went into error mode.

He got the error mode off, but now it doesn't work anymore.
He was mentioning something about a ram cleaner, or card cleaner. I know nothing of these, him either.

any ideas?
 
Saferam clear would be necessary if he lost his battery, but shouldn't be necessary for a jackpot clear.

Usually you open the door, turn the jackpot reset key, shut the door, and keep playing.

What code is it giving him?
 
Im not familiar with the Ballys but an IGT has to payout completely or it wont clear the jackpot even with the key. I would assume a ram clear would get rid of any credits but not sure.
IGT's require a special eprom to clear the ram and the Ballys probably do as well.
 
thanks for the responses, I don't have access to the machine, and these are great questions and advice so far.

I will try to direct him to this thread, and then maybe something can get done.
