Bally Alpha not booting

[a69mopar]

Machine was playing Friday. This morning got C Ram Low Battery so changed both batteries. Now attempting to frre block in database. Fatal fault. Turning attendant key to reboot does the same thing. Here is the screen. Here is you tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqxni70QVms

Just a note.  There are 3 batteries.  2 on the main board and 1 on the backplane.  look at the backplane with the cpu removed and you will see it.

Thanks,
Wayne

Thanks Wayne. Does this mean I will have to do the whole set up again? I guess it would be best now while it is still fresh in my mind. That was the hardest thing I have done with a slot.

As you go through your set up, you should take pictures of each screen in the settings.  This will make it easier to do when you are setting it up.  after you do it again, you will find it is easier.

Thanks,

I follow the same routine for both bally alpha and wms games.  After doing a clear and letting the game load, I always follow this pattern.

1.  Set clock.
2. Set devices (usually just bill validator, button panel type,  and ticket printer)
3. Set denomination/credit
    Here I set the denom to $1.00 so the counters don't go too crazy, then I either enable/disable multi-denom depending if there's a progressive.
    Select the game percentage and save for all paytables.
4. Set game options (i.e. max bet and button panel layout)
5. Set your progressive if needed.
6.  Set your comm for TITO if needed.

Several of my mistake attempts, I did things out of order. Then I couldn't go back. When I finally saw in the right corner of the screen what it wanted next, I was able to get through it. And I was working with neonkiss instructions.
