lstrong Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I am working on a Snackshop 4000 that seems to be loosing its prices and they all go to zero, they all can be re-set and it works fine, but after a few days, it will loose the prices again, I am thinking that its the control board that is going out, but wanted to be sure before just replacing the board. Can anyone give me some pointers for troubleshooting the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrCorey Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 look on the main board? is there a battery? maybe a solder one or a plug in one. replace them. they keep them memory hot. could be coin batteries or regular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walta Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 That machine takes a solder in battery. The problem could be a blinking florescent lamp. Please post to the Food and beverage forum next time. Walta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone give me some pointers for troubleshooting the problem? Hello and welcome to the forum. The battery on the board is soldered on as Walta said and if your light isn't the issue then you are losing power to the machine which causes the lost prices due to the bad battery or the bad board. I have replaced the battery before and still found some boards continue to lose pricing due to an inability to charge the battery. This then requires replacement of the board. If you need an exchange logic board then you can send me a PM and I can get one out to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstrong Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Thank you for the tips, I will check out the battery and possible loss of power to machine. I already ruled out the light, since it hasn't worked in years and don't really need it. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
