A technical guy at Vendo benelux told me that factory reset is in the CCOC menu, but it didn't make much sense to me as all I could find there was coin/note options. I've changed the display, it's not perfect but seems to be useable. I did try to short the battery with power off, but I don't reckon ...

Thanks Matt, I'm gonna try a new display tomorrow.
Would still like to know how you reset the RAM on these machines though.

I have a vdi 700 snack automaat which has random letters/numbers appearing in the display.
Does anyone know how to reset the ram memory or do a factory reset?
The cmos battery can't be removed.

Just fixed it, it was indeed the cup detectors that were misaligned, thanks

Hi, I have a Rheavendors Luce coffee machine which has a cup dispenser problem. It will dispense cups if I use the test function in program mode.

Hearing rumours that the classic wide Coke can will soon become unavailable because Coke and others are switching to sleek style cans. Obviously a problem for someone with lots of older vending machines. Does anyone have any clear info on this? Will they become unavailable or are the sleek cans aime...

Once the gears started jumping it must have thought the channel was jammed. No idea why it was causing the other selections to b...

Thanks guys, actually just sorted it today. It was the tray PCB. Also sorted 3 other Crane's with the same problem but they all had broken wires right at the end where they're crimped onto the pcb connector. Found a good guy in the Netherlands that has a load of new and used parts that's only an hou...

Just did that this morning, switching trays made no difference so like you say, probably the tray pcb. I will swap the pcb next time just to make sure, and then try and find one online. I've seen a couple of UK suppliers for that sort of thing but Brexit's made it a right pain to order stuff from th...
