Sorry if this is a little long, but I wanted to make sure I got it all out there before soliciting help...
I bought a MegaTouch Maxx in March off ebay. The guy had stellar reviews, the machine worked wonderfully, etc etc. But every time I'd ask him for a little help early on, he gave weird directions that never lined up with what was inside the machine, like he was referring to a different version. So I just gave up on correcting him, and lived with things like the volume being just a little too loud.
Fast forward to a couple weeks ago. I turned the machine on, and it's stuck on a screen saying that there's a "CMOS checksum error -- Defaults loaded." I tried to contact the seller again, but no reply.
I'm guessing, from reading around on these boards, that I likely have to either plug in a keyboard (to get to F1 and "continue") and/or replace the battery. But I'd rather just get on the phone -- or, better yet, on some kind of skype interface -- with someone who can hold my hand through a few questions.
I'm by no means a genius when it comes to this, but I'd say I'm a little past beginner. Maybe in the limbo between intermediate and advanced...
Anyway, I'm willing to shoot a little holiday donation in the direction of someone willing to help give me a quick tutorial on the ins and outs of operating the MegaTouch. The casing says it's a Mega Touch Maxx Ruby Edition. Beyond that, I can list off some games from memory, if that helps to place it, but I know little else about it.
Thanks for any help you can give here. I've attached a pic of the error screen to help with the details of what I'm working with here.
