If you are facing any challenges recharging your prepaid meter or especially DISCOS MEMCO meters then I will help you by teaching you how to Reset, Recharge, and Check Balance.

If your Memco meter requires a reset due to insufficient credit or delayed payment, you can obtain a token for your prepaid meter from a different place where you normally buy tokens for your DISCO light top-ups.


To perform a reset on your prepaid meter, follow these steps:

• Input 990 and press the green or blue button to confirm.
• Enter 8888 and confirm.
• Input 999 and confirm; you will observe the RESET message on the CD screen.
• Disconnect the plug under the meter box and reconnect it.
• Enter the provided token to recharge.

If the above steps don't work for your meter, you can try the following alternative:

• Press 990 and then press enter; you'll receive a response.
• Input 0000 and press enter; you'll see "good."
• Enter 999 and press enter; you'll receive a "reset" message.
• Disconnect the plug under the meter box and reconnect it.
• Input the provided token to recharge.
• After loading the prepaid meter, check the following:

Meter number: Press 65, followed by the blue button, to easily view the 11-digit meter number displayed on the screen.
Total credit used: Press 07 on the keypad, then the blue button, and await a prompt for your total credit used.
Balance: Press 07 on the keypad, followed by the blue button, to check your remaining balance, displayed in the format (200.16).
