    Amada Promecam APX100 getting into BIOS settings

    Hello, machine's an Amada Promecam Press Brake APX100 with OPE-2 'operateur' cnc based on an SBC board.

    The BIOS battery died at the weekend and has reset the clock to 1/1/1980.
    When booting up, the POST screen says the CMOS battery is faulty, and to press ESC to continue or CTRL-ALT-DEL to enter settings.

    The problem is that we dont have either an ESC, CTRL, or ALT on the 'operateur' keyboard.
    Does anyone know how to get into the BIOS setup, please?

    It's too old for Amada to know, their engineer told us to write- off the machine.

    I would try to plug a standard PC keyboard in but the motherboard only has pin headers for everything.

    Best regards

    kevin

    Your best bet is probably to send a PM to "AmadaJoe" here on CNC Zone. He's an ex-Amada tech and operates Alternative Parts Inc in the USA. Extremely knowledgeable guy.

    "It's too old for Amada to know, their engineer told us to write- off the machine." LOL..That is funny. You need a special cable to hook up standard PC keyboard. Email me pictures of your CPU. Amada uses several CPU's. I will send you pin configuration and location. Side note I am parting out 2 of these machines if you need anything else. 2204
