After powering up my Hurco KM3 the first time, I doesn't want to power up every time. I have got it to power up 3 or 4 times since I got it. The card rack was dirty. Yesterday I took the cards & card rack out of the Hurco.
I am glad I did. It was Filthy. Chips every where. Fans were dirty.
Washed the greasy dirt off of everything. I found a wire disconnected
from the terminal strip going no where. It is a white wire It was just laying there.It goes up to the cable connect board (415 0193 002) I traced it to TB 52 pin 8. with an ohm meter.
Pin 8 is(Mach. Return). The manual says that white wire goes to TB 4 pin 38. I have it all back together. When I start it up, all I get is a flashing courser in the lower left hand corner of the text screen.. I have two green lights on the dual axis X & Y board. Also two green lights on the dual axis Z & Spindle board (Last two boards in the card rack) A green light on the CPU board. None are flashing. Before they would flash. Before when it booted up there would be a green light on the personality board. Every thing is plunged in right. I hope I didn't smoke a board. I read something about boot loader might need to be reloaded. I have a new c-mos battery. It powered after the new bat. I had the card out of the card rack more than a day. Not over two.
