So it might be a good idea to swap out the CMOS batteries in the X's and X2's..? Anything special I should consider before doing so?andygeezer wrote:901 is because the CMOS has been reset/cleared.

Have you managed to find something with the rom dump?
The 901 error is caused only by the bad date/time from bios. I have chase hq2, king of jurassik and battle gear4 with same problem.
Thank you
Taito when questioned about it admitted it was a problem, but they said the cr2032 was good for 8-10years.
Amazing how many bg4s I've had to repair due to operators removing the cr2032!

Re: Taito Type X troubleshooting
Not sure if the X/X2 has any cap's keeping the settings alive while swapping the battery or if you need an extra battery for keeping them on life support while swapping.rick101 wrote:tried to clone the hdd of my battle gear 4 and it did boot up but gave me ang error 906? does anyone know what is causing this error ?

Do you guys have an idea how to fix this? Should HD Clone RAW image fix this? As I understand from posts on this topic I must copy MBR, isn't it?

Re: Taito Type X troubleshooting
Sounds like a Video card issue to me, HDD normally conk out straight away on boot (either invalid boot media, or BSOD) - never really does it boot, then crash.Coolshark wrote:Hi guys, I'm a newbe here! I do have a question for you, hope you can help...

Hi Andy,andygeezer wrote:Sounds like a Video card issue to me, HDD normally conk out straight away on boot (either invalid boot media, or BSOD) - never really does it boot, then crash.
by looking at the motherboard I see 3 inflated capacitors just above the CPU socket (there's a 5x lane) so I do have to replace them all and test it again.
VGA seems to be working just fine in 3D mode, no stuttering or video artifacts, I'm gonna give it a ride on Furmark and see what happens...
I'm still looking a way to clone the drive, would you please PM me to discuss about?
Thank you very much in advance and thank you for time spend.
Bye

901 means that the USB dongle isn't working I.e. wrong or damaged.

Error 901 on battle gear 4, means security token held in cmos area has gone.
There is no fix, unless you get a hdd replacement with the security moved to the hdd.
