Title: CDS 1920 Watchdog Light Serial Connection Timeout
Post by: SLOTMAN on January 19, 2012, 10:10:29 PM
Help, Help, Help!!! I am driving myself crazy with this POS CDS game I have.  I originally started getting a serial connection timeout.  I checked and rechecked everything.  Pulling out every connector and chip and re-seating it.  Same thing.  Thinking I had a bad IO board I started searching.  I found 2 vendors and in between both purchased 3 boards.  I tried all 3 of them, now I am not even getting the watchdog light on the I/O board.  The game boots up and goes in to startup sequence but I keep getting Serial Connection timeout.

Anyone have ANY suggestions???????

Just curious if you ever figured out what was wrong with your machine?

Enjoy it while you can. Where did you get your replacement board? I can't seem to keep mine working.

Make sure u63 and u64 are seated correctly along with the piggyback processor board.

Do you know how to clone a hard drive? I would back it up because they are almost non existent.
