program versions, a coin jam while the game is turned on.
1.
Turn the game off.
2.
Locate DS 1, position 8 and turn it on.
3.
Turn on power to the cabinet. This will start the
hard drive checksum test, which should take about
20 minutes to complete.
4.
When the hard drive passes the test it will display
a "CHECKSUM GOOD" message and continue to
boot up into the game attract screens. This
indicates a coin jam.
5.
When the hard drive fails the test, the game will
lock up with a "CHECKSUM ERROR" message,
which will stay on the screen until the power is
turned off. In this case, the hard drive will have to
be replaced.

This message indicates the motherboard is not receiving data from the
hard drive and has locked up.

Check the IDE ribbon cable connections to the motherboard and
hard drive.

Check the power to the hard drive. It should have +5 volts, +12
volts, and ground.

Try reloading the program onto the hard drive with a different set of
update CD’s compatible with the security key. If it will not accept the
download, try another CD-ROM drive. If it still does not work,
replace the hard drive.
