Hello,
I bought a Golden Tee Complete red board and harddrive from a fellow KLOVer and everything works perfectly...no complaints with functionality at all. However, the board is registered and contains all the location data (Wisconsin) from when it was in operation at a bar (all data is showing in the ITNET menu and won't change because it can't connect to the server). I know the ITNET servers are long gone and there's no way to dial in to change the location or unregister the game. I don't care what the LED signage says as it's folded over but I have a pet peeve about the location showing up on the Leaderboard scores.
I called IT and they told me that the location data is stored in the harddrive and replacing the drive would clear out the location so that it says, "This Location" instead of an actual location...I'm ok with this as that's how my 2003 unregistered board set behaved. I bought a replacement drive from a reputable source, installed, and fired it up. Now it says Indiana. This leads me to believe the data is stored on the harddrive and while the location data is blank in the ITNET menu, somewhere Indiana is stored on the drive. I called the vendor, he talked to IT and I'd have to send it in to be unregistered so that I can have the generic location message. I called IT and they said they can't unregister it because the servers are long gone and I should try replacing the NVRAM, using the one from my unregistered 2003 board, as he thinks that's where it might be stored. If that doesn't work, call them back. Given that the location changed when I swapped the drives, I don't see this changing when I swap the NVRAM, but I'm willing to give it a try and will do so tonight.
Does anyone have any insight to this? I don't care if the board is registered or unregistered, don't care what the LED sign says, I just want the location to be the generic "This Location" verbiage. Any info. is appreciated.
Thanks.
