Subject: How do you do a safe ram clear on a Bally 5000 Plus slot machine? Author: Jerry Fluegel (Frustrated, can't find the info that I need) [ Next Thread |Previous Thread |Next Message |Previous Message] Date Posted:18:23:14 12/27/07 Thu PLEASE HELP ME!!!! I am not able to find information on how to do a safe ram clear (error #83) on a Bally 5000 Plus Firecracker slot machine. I don't believe that this machine requires ram clear chips. I think that there is a jumper to be moved in the procedure but am not sure. Is there anybody out there that can help me? Sure would appreciate any information that will solve my problem.
