Change machine seems broken - I followed the instructions and |
|
fed in a bunch of bills. That part seemed to work OK. It whirred and shuddered and some lights flashed.
After a few minutes of this, there were a few puffs of blue smoke and it just sort of shut down.
I checked to make sure it was plugged in, checked the fuse, its getting power.
Seems jammed - has anyone phoned this in to the manufacturer?
Looks brand new, hardly been used. I hope the warranty is still good after a year.

It prefers money taken directly from a corporate account, money from us normal people never results in change.

it doesn't make change for anything under $500,000 per year.
Good luck.

11. And you may have to wait until 2014 for your change |
|
Even then, you'll probably be short changed... but there's always hope!

7. Sometimes a couple of really good kicks can get its logic board working again. |

Edited on Sun Mar-07-10 05:54 PM by Bozita
If that doesn't work, the logic board needs replacing.

8. Some of those bills might have been counterfeit |
|
Heard there's a multi-state counterfeiting ring known to operate out of Montana, Nebraska, Arkansas, and Connecticut, among other places.

I don't need you, you need me...right. I'm not happy, poking with a stick is rather...silly.
At least the politicians have the common sense to kiss my ass and lie.

Your condescending attitude and chronic case of self-righteous indignation are getting old. That you continually dismiss anyone who doesn't bow to your superior intellect and experience as "silly," may impress your fan club, but frankly doesn't do much for me.
As long as I'm "daring" to take a poke here, let me make a suggestion as to what you can do with the stick.
Get over yourself.

But it's a target rich environment for those of us who would like to ridicule those posts.
