You wouldn't by any chance know of a manual or way to get into the service menu without opening the machine would you? I would totally try to get it online myself as I don't think that the location cares (it's a bowling alley and nearly every other game is a ticket game). That stinks, when I plug my USB in, it shows that there's activity so I know it's powered and not completely disabled but I didn't think that it HAD to be online

The location of the unit is about an hour and a half away too which isn't so bad. I'd gladly drive down for the day JUST to play it but not if I'm not going to be able to get the full experience that I'm looking for and have to enter that stupid code every time to get the Full Mode..... *sigh*

Thanks for clarifying some of that up!
