Hello All,
I would appreciate any help and/or recommendation on what to look for for the following problem:
Machine is Milltronics Partner 1, 1995 series J (SN 3409), factory refurbished, 10k spindle, LCD, 256 M flash memory etc. SN, 1995 vintage.
Machine has been used very little since installation in 2005. The last time it was used, worked fine; the machine has been sitting idle (unpowered) for 4-6 months. When turned on:
Absolutely no activity on the front panel controls other than the LCD backlight (no buttons lit, nothing functional, no display, no sign of servos powering up, etc).
The PC inside the back panel is running, the 5v and 12 v power LED's are lit, and a couple of other LED's on the boards. Fans are running, Inverter displays EF3, the LED's on the bank of relays flash once on power up. No sign of any lightening or other damage. There is a "beeping" approx 1 sec on/off coming from what sounds like the PC.
I've removed the PCB's and cleaned the contacts, cycled the DIP switches, replaced the 3v battery on the memory card--no effect.
Milltronics only suggested to start checking all the various power supply voltages.
If anyone has any suggestions or ideas, or knows of someone in the Raleigh NC area that could provide service, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
Charles
