Espgaluda problem

Post by ckong »

Guys, since a short while my Espgaluda refuses to play. I get this message:

Does anyone know what these codes mean and what the error could be?

I checked the 5V line on the board and that is OK.

I think you do that with the metal switch near the battery, which you normally shouldn't touch.
But somebody correct me if I am wrong.

Turn off power to the board/cab. Push the nvram switch (flick it) and keep it pushed (it wants to go back to original position) 5 seconds at least, to clear the nvram.
Any green crap near the battery, or is it already removed?

A dying battery can cause this problem, so check the voltage and let us know..

OK, clearing the nvram made no difference. However, the battery only measured about 1,0V, way too low. I will find a replacement battery and put it on the board. Let's hope that this causes the problem. Stay tuned.

You can take the battery off and the board will still work. Battery is just for menu settings I think.

Try the DEFAULT SETTING item in the TEST menu. I think I used that once on ESPGALUDA. :think:

That's correct. I've removed the batteries on both my Espgaluda and Ketsui PCBs and they still work.
