Concorde JVL starts to boot, shows the JVL logo screen, then shows the CD version and then after a minute or two, does it again. It is in a perpetual loop.

Tried holding the admin button down and all it does is send me to a post screen, like a computer starting up. Changed CD drive, and it still does the same thing.

I can't find much documentation on the web, but some of the other models say something about a security key. Is that a possibility?


Any help appreciated.

Thanks, mongoosetoo

I don't know about the Concorde but with the Conquest there's a flash drive in the PC that you load the software onto. You can leave the CD in the drive and the game will boot and run using just the CD, if you eject the CD the game will crash.

From memory here, so I could be wrong, I think when booting from the CD it checks to see if you have a flash drive and prompts you as to whether or not you want to load the games onto it.

At some point in the past I know that my Conquest got stuck in a boot loop and I'm fairly sure I just pulled the PC, cleaned it, and reseated the connectors. It worked fine after that but I thought it odd at the time as I had serviced the game when I first got it and then had the PC out a second time to upgrade the flash and RAM for a later software version. Knock on wood it was a one-time thing so far...

I seem to think it boots much more quickly using the CD but you have less games to pick from.
 
Good advice, I'll pull it apart this weekend sometime. I didn't see a flash drive when I looked the first time, but will dig deeper this time. Thanks.
