I have a vintage 1987 bmc 40 that was having problems knowing its machine size. I talked to Huco tech support (mistake) and they had me re arrange chips on the memory board. Machine quit running at that point, and I havent been able to get it going since. I had the older style memory board with the three batteries on the edge (they had been recently replaced). I sent the board out for repair, and was sent an upgraded board that did not have the batteries. Now all I get is a blinking cursor when I try to boot up. I tried another memory board of the same style that I bought on Ebay, same results. Someone told me that the crt controller might have died, but if I flip dip switch 8, I can press keys and get different letters on the screen, depending on which key I press.
Anyone have any ideas? I would really appreciate the help. JC
