Factory Settings Restored.
This message indicates that the CMOS RAM (U8) no longer retains any custom Pricing or Game
Adjustment settings and has reverted to factory default settings. Generally, the following CPU
checks will isolate the cause of the CMOS RAM memory failure. The voltage at pin 28 and pin 26
of
ua
should be +5V (game turned On) and at least +4V (game turned Off). When the voltage
drops below +4V, memory reset occurs. Check the batteries and battery holder. Be sure that the
batteries are good and that there is no contamination on the battery holder terminals. Turn the
game OFF, and use an ohmmeter to check diodes 01 and 02 on the CPU
Board
01 should read
o
ohms when forward-biased and infinite ohms when reverse-biased. 02 should read 15 ohms
when forward-biased and infinite ohms when reverse-biased. (Readings taken with an analog
meter.)This message can also indicate that there is an open diode on a 50V coil and noise is
entering the circuit.
Opto Theory
The opto receiver (Photo Transistor) should be approximately 0.1 - 0.7 volts when the opto beam
is unblocked and approximately 11 - 13 volts when the opto beam is blocked. The opto transmitter
(LED) should always be approximately 1.4 volts.
Note:
The transmitter (LED) is larger than the
receiver (Photo Transistor); it protrudes further from its case.

CPU L.E.D.'s
The CPU has three L.E.O.s located on the upper left side of the board 019, 020, and 021. On
game power-up 019 and 021 turn on for a moment then, 019 turns off and D20 starts to blink
rapidly. 021 remains on. The system has detected a problem if the following happens:
