Maxx mega touch 2001 game problem

[hoosierdirt]

hello

I bought this machine from a guy he said it worked last time he used it which has been couple years anyway he said when he turned it on nothing i opened it up and when theres power to it you can see that theres voltage to the screen but its black i checked the power supply but didnt get anything out of it so i jumpered the green and black wire on the plug and everything powered up so why isnt the game powering up without jumper it says on screen no 80 pin cable you can go to setup screen and thats it

some power supplys need the jumper other don,t someone (seller) may have change it p/s  and didn,t know it needed a jumper thats why he sold it not working

[hoosierdirt]

when it comes on it says push F1 OR F10  what do i do i tryed both then it went to a black screen when it first starts it has maxx on the screen then goes to page with the F1 OR F10  to continue

dead battery i,ll bet

[hoosierdirt]

dead battery ?? is that what the security key is ?? how do i fix that

[BR549 Auto Sales]

There is a small coin type battery under the I/O board, you need to install a new one and power the machine back up.

i put in new battery but still has same screen i took pic if i can figure how to load it on here

[BR549 Auto Sales]

Probably need to re set the CMOS settings, time, date, etc.

Hook up a old computer keyboard up to the upper portion of the PCB turn the game back on and when that screen comes up, press F1 and the game may cycle and come up to the "Loading" screen and be ready for play, if not then press delete and set the time and date and save your changes.

i pushed the F1 and it went to a black screen with a small white line and when i turned it off and back on it went back to black screen so i removed the battery and im going to put battery back in and try the del

so all should have to set is date and time? is there anything else to set

[BR549 Auto Sales]

Here are the steps:

Press delete to enter set up
Load set up defaults (press enter)
(Y) for yes
Select standard cosmos setup, then press enter
Set date and time
Scroll to "hard disks, all types and modes and set them to "auto"
They should read, 1. drive A 1.44m 3.5in
                          2. drive B = none
                          3. video = ega/vga
                          4. halt on = all but keyboard
Verify all settings and hit esc.
Press F10 key
Press "y" for yes
Press enter, unplug your keyboard and the system will finalize and boot up for you to play

this is the next screen i set date and time see if this looks right it is stuck on this screen will have to reset and restart to see if i missed something

[hoosierdirt]

it says primary slave non is that right

[BR549 Auto Sales]

Primary slave/none should not be an issue. turn the machine off and back on again after setting everything and it will go through @ 2 minutes of loading everything up and the "MAXX" screen should come back up then the "Loading" screen should come up and the the bar should fill up and go to ready to play mode.
