BIG Trev Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I now have a Hankin Howzat that is totally dead. Only the GI lights work. I'm going to check the fuses first but I think this has already been done. When turned on it gives a little squeak and the led on the cpu flashes once very quickly. I'm going to check the power but I'm guessing it's okay as the sound board made a noise albeit a quick squeak. I'll reseat / replace the 6802 and mpu connectors next. Does anyone have any ideas what else could be causing this? Cheers Trev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pash Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Reseating the connectors and chips would definitely be the first thing to try mate. Maybe test the power supply test points to see if you are getting correct voltages. Hard to say if the flash you got can be classed as one of the first flashes or not. Might have to setup my Howzat if you have any trouble mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toads Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 After checking all the above did you get a CPU from Daniel? You could try swapping it out to see if it's a board problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG Trev Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Sorry we've been out today but I'll have a look next week I dont think the flash was a proper one maybe just a spike from the power being turned on. I do have a spare that I'm recapping and replacing the sockets and headers on. Or I could try the board I got from Mike first I know that one's good.

wiredoug Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 i dont know the board but i read the manual and there is a very convenient 12v to 5v system you need to check for starters... start with the test points on the power supply .. TP1, TP2 ... get the power right first before you go fiddling with the cpu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG Trev Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Harsh... The fun is in the fixing not the playing. That's why I love Hankins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulthedude Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Try reseating all the connectors/plugs as the biggest problem with Hankins is the plugs, remove wiring from the plugs & retension & clean. This was the biggest problem I had with Empire Strikes Back & all is good now. A very easy fix & sorted every problem I had with the machine, but a very time consuming process.

BIG Trev Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'm having a great day today. First the ESB is back in operation and with a clean of the connectors the Howzat now boots with minor switch and coil problems. Thanks again to everyone who's helped. Trev.

BIG Trev Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 I put all the bulbs in the backbox today and bugger me they all worked. Still having an issue with the solenoid fuse blowing on the power board. I tracked it down to the left flippers one of which had a broken coil stop. I swapped the coil and put a new stop in and it worked fine. I had the machine switched on for a couple of hours while I was doing something else and heard the fuse pop again so I'm back to square one. I'll check the other flipper next.
