So I've got the following 80B machines:
Hot Shots (boots up every time)
Raven (no longer boots)
Monte Carlo (no longer boots)
Gold Wings (no longer boots)
Hot Shots has had the edge connectors removed, and wires soldered directly to the edge connectors. DO NOT BLAME ME, I DIDN'T DO IT!
But, the machine boots and plays!
I am not sure if it still has the reset board attached or not.
Gold Wings has had every single edge connector replaced and repinned (by me), as well as the entire ground mods and voltage LED mods done (by me).
The machine booted and played great for about 6 months, but now does the following:
When turning the machine on, the siren turns on, and several of the flashers turn on and stay on. If I flip the switch on and off quickly a few times, I can get the machine to boot to attract mode, but not coin up or start a game. And no displays or music.
Raven will not boot up or go into attract mode. It does nothing more than turn the GU lighting on.
Monte Carlo will not boot up or go into attract mode. It does nothing more than turn the GI lighting on.
So this brings us to the reset board.
I purchased 3 "working" reset boards from a reseller.
Putting these reset boards did not change anything as far a booting up or not.
However, the issues I am describing are all related to the reset circuitry.
So here are my questions regarding the reset boards.
1: In general, do you use them? Remove them?
2: Is there a way to test the boards using a DVM, logic probe, scope, or other tools?
3: Is there any way to determine if the reset board is CAUSING the problem rather than FIXING the problem?
