Good day to all,
Recently i purchased 2 "broken" MegaTouch XL6000, both were in working condition but the seller tried switching the pc's,
Why you wonder...one (1) has a few little almost invisible scratches on the screen and number two (2) was just completely reseted and had a nice screen and housing/decals.
After his attempt they both did not work anymore. Then he switched everything back and one (1) now had a : System Disk Failure.
Meanwhile number one (1) works again after some intense cleaning and reconnecting every connector. ( Ok switched O/I board/raiser/EPROM/CD-Drive/Ribbon Cable ) with the two but now it boots and PLAYS!
Now with number two (2) first it did absolutely nothing but also after a nice cleaning service and checking every connection it boot up!!
But with an error : CMOS Battery Fail .... , hmmm ok should have thought of that before but replaced it with a brand new CR2032.
Power On... CMOS setting fail... so i corrected the time and date, loaded default settings, checked boot order (C,A) and then saved and exit.
Machine reboots itself and no longer CMOS error but at the point that the self-test normally starts and starting the .exe all i see is a complete BLACK screen, CD-Drive spinning and a popping sound from the speaker, every 2-3 seconds....I let it on for about 1 hour and still nothing.
Like i said i switched a couple of things with the working one :
I/O Board ( including EPROM: SA3014-04 and key
Raiser
CD-Drive
IDE-Ribbon cable
RAM Memory
Still the same BLACK screen, however good to know that the other machine runs with all the switched items.
I also hooked up an external screen for testing ( in stead of the TATUNG CRT monitor ), the screen has an external power supply so plugged in MB and wall socket.
Flip the switch ... and still the same... only this screen reports a message saying :
Check input signal connection. then it also goes black and nothing happens.
Is there still somebody out there who has some info or suggestions, after hours and hours of trying and looking up pieces of info on the net i hope i can get this thing to work again.
Many thanks in advance,
Remco
