Greetings all,

My shop has an Acer knee mill with a Mitutoyo Millstar 2 control on it. The control has died, and to make a long story short, we sent it to the repair facility, who promptly sent it back to us saying "We don't work on those anymore.". So I'm reaching out to anyone who has repaired these, has an extra one that can be purchased for parts, or knows of anyone that can repair or has one to purchase.

The problem is that the keypad on the front is dead. It seemed at first to be a problem with the keypad control board getting hot. So we added ventilation, left the cover off, and it still didn't work. The software boots correctly, we just cannot use the keypad at all. Apparently one can plug in an external keyboard to use, so I'll try that. I'm just getting started in this process, and any info would be great. Thanks.
