Golden Tee Fore Complete Red Board Stuck on Initializing
I have a Golden Tee Fore Complete red board that I am bench testing (My cabinet is still at a friend's.) I purchased this board, along with a HDD and CF HDD that were listed for complete. The board will load just fine until this point, then will just sit there and not do anything. From reading on similar issues, I'm leaning towards a hard drive issue.
The hard drive does spin up.
It is labeled as a complete
No lights on the board are solid. The 2 Status LEDs remain blinking.
I tried different cables, and both slots.
The hard drive, when put into a USB enclosure spins up, but does not register in Windows.
The CF card seems to do nothing either with the board or Windows machine.
Setup is a 300watt ATX power supply, likely from my SSB system I upgraded.
Board
Graphics card directly into VGA monitor.
I have 3 working graphics cards, and each got to this same point.
So what should I look at next? I'm guessing the HDD is hosed. I do have several other IDE drives I could image if I could find a GT Fore Complete image to create it from. I can also spin up a linux machine or test the drives with my Mac if it would produce different results.
Since I don't have the cabinet, I can't hold down start perse, but I could jumper the pin to spoof it. Do I need to jumper to ground or +5V?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.
