Hurco VMX24s/Control dead? Help please,please.
I have read some post on the internet however i am a bit dense on electronic/electrics
Could someone point me out how to trace the problem, please.
I can check it but need guidance.
Machine: HurcoVMX24s
Control : Ultimax /Max4(not winmax)
Year 2007
Machine was power off for one week when
today i power it on, but control shows no sign of activity.
Completely dead. No lights nothing.
I have replaced the small battery and no success.
The CPU box shows lights and seems to be working.
All the fans work and the servos apparently have power.
The spindle chiller has no power also, and no light on the top beacon.
links to a video and some photos below.

Any beeps out of the CPU?
Re-seat the CPU board.
Try and gently put a twisting pressure on the heatsink on the CPU (very gentle) with it turned off. It may be the CPU needs to be removed from its socket and re-seated. If you do try this, you will need some heatsinking compound.

Replacing burst capacitors on the CPU may sort a lot of problems. It’s normally the 5V capacitors that bulge- particularly the ones alongside the CPU.
You could remove the capacitor on the CPU by gently pulling it offthe board and leaving the legs behind - make sure the remaining legs do not short circuit though. Replace it with an equivalent after testing with it out of circuit.

Take the graphics card out and leave it out. Plug the VGA cable into the VGA port on the CPU to see if you get any output.

Thank Bloke, finally some hope...
Graphic card out and screen already show some activity...
But it is showing me the disk boot failure.
Has it it something to do with the battery or did i connect the HDD the wrong way?
I believe there is only one way to connect the HDD, but...
Below are photos of the error and how i connected the hdd.
Does Hurco sell this graphic card still?

It could have lost the hard drive settings. Make sure it is set to manual and CHS
Set it to 3303 cylinders
16 heads
65535 WPcomp
0 LZone
63 sectors
Then change it from CHS to LBA to see if it boots.
There are more settings to change but try these for now to see if it will move on...
