Looking for some advice with an issue I'm having. It's a Rockola Legend 6000X. It will power up and cycle thru the codes, ending on S-1. From what I understand, that means it's ready for normal operation.

I pulled the main board and found the battery had corroded and bled out. I removed the battery, cleaned up the board, and check all the traces for damage. Everything looks good. I wired up a rechargeable battery pack and mounted it external to the board.

Fired up the juke again, same problem. Looking over the manual, at this point you are supposed to slide the scan switch to the "OPER" position and move switch 10 on the main board to the "on" position to get it to read the discs (assuming the programming was gone). No luck there.

In addition, I can't interact with the control board via the buttons and the page buttons won't turn the pages.

I followed connections to the mech control PCB, and neither of the LEDs are lit. The +5 looks good at the test point on that board, but voltages seem low around other components.

So that's where I'm at. This is new to me, I normally work on arcade games and pinball machines. My next step will be to look at the power distribution and make sure all the fuses are good. After that I'm out of ideas.

If anyone has any input, let me know. Very much appreciated!

Giving this one bump for the weekend then I'll leave it be.

If anyone has any advice about another forum I should check out for jukes, please let me know.

Thanks!
 
A little more info to add...

I put the mechanism control PCB back in the machine. The test point for +5 looks good, but the test point for 26 volts reads about 1.84.

Just need to figure out if it's something with that board itself, or if it's the power feed.
 
This is awesome Ken. Thanks for posting. I'll start scouring that forum now!
