Issue with Mach2

[Pejsen]

Hey guys

I've pulled my old regassed mach 2 away from its hidingplace, but now i have a weird issue with starting it.

immidietly when i plug 230v(Europe) into it it starts up, and ssays "boot load wating"..

The software in windows cannot connect with it, and i have no idea how to make it right again do you guys have?

I had the same problem with one that I recieved to repair and regass a while ago.

The firmware is likely corrupt and needs flashing again.

Easy enough to do, but if you can't connect you may struggle with it.

Check if the wires are lined up properly on the plug first, as sometimes they aren't on mach's for some reason.

Just take note of the order of colors left to right and make sure that the plug is the same on both ends. Then just plug in and go through the motions of forcing the driver in windows.

If you can't get the unit to connect at all, the the control board may be a problem. I'm pretty sure you'll still be able to 'force' the unit to work by using a second psu 'jumped' and attached to the molex for your mach unit. That should make it cool down as normal.

Just note, the pins of the plug, left to right, start with pin1. That means that the left pin must go to pin1 for your motherboard's USB plug.

Hope that helps a bit
