OK I bought 4 of these touch screen machines from auction. they are all the newer style (not the big wood box with a tube display) with lcd display in upright plastic cabinet.

One I am working on say's 2009.5 on the cabinet. I got it to power up and it goes through the boot sequence and gets to a graphical screen where it says

"fatal error: cannot access i/o board" and goes no further. When looking at the IO board when powered on I see one red led light lit. See the pictures of the error message and the I/O board LED. I've got no idea how to proceed, what could be the issue with this I/O board? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I forget if there are two power harness's going to the top board. look for plug missing.
security key missing?
check dip switches
if battery was dead then check for correct bios settings if needed. correct time.
 
Make sure it's plugged into the USB port (up board is a USB device)

Not having a key won't give that error. I have a bad one too was thinking of trying to troubleshoot I think most of the parts I see are standard including the USB interface chip. If you find the cause please post your results.
 
The usb cable is plugged in, that causes 1 red led to light on the board, when unplugged nothing lights up. Here are pictures of the device. All the wires connected to it were connected to the motherboard.

You are missing the 4 pin power connector that goes to the power supply.

Do I use the 4 pin from the mini atx power supply? I've got it torn apart and re-assembled all on my work bench and am using a standard atx power supply right now.
 
OK nevermind, I see the smaller 4 pin power cord on the original power supply in the machine itself, I'll use that power supply with the power connected and see what happens, thank you! (and thanks for the pictures)
 
That was the ticket, so simple and I missed it, thank you very much. On another note on these machines : I'll need a couple PSU's and security spoons, anyone have a good place to purchase these items?

For the psu's your best bet is ebay. Just make sure they come with that 4 pin power connector. That was pretty much a proprietary connector megatouch used. Some psu came with it built into the psu, and some come with an adapter you connect between the atx connector and the motherboard. I make the adapters if you need more then a few, otherwise its not worth my time/labor.

The keys are hit or miss on ebay. Again it depends what model megatouch and what year you want. Prices can range from $5 to $250 for the last version (2014)

I currently have 2008/2009/2012 keys.

I can also make the usb connectors aswell.

I have some keys for Force I have 06,07,08,09 and ION I have 07,08,12,13 I also have older Maxx Sapphire and Jade keys.
 
Force 2009 key is sold.
2013 keys sold.
Have a bunch of ION 2008 and 2) 2012 keys left.
Have Force 2005,2006,2007,2008. I can also make up Force drives to go with the keys.
Also have Maxx Sapphire and Jade keys.
Willing to trade for Force 2011 or ION 2014 keys.
 
OK I am working on an ion unit now with a similar IO board but this machine did not come with a power supply so I need to purchase one with that special little 4 pin power connector for the IO board. Unfortunately I am unable to find one on ebay that has that connector, anyone have an idea where I can pick on up or perhaps point me in the right direction? I see replacement units for 20-30 bucks but none that I see have that small connector.
