After a couple of months away from the machine I fired it up tonight and saw a cmos battery fail during boot up. I left it powered up for a couple of minutes and cycled the power.
Did not get the cmos error on subsequent start ups but the screen resolution seems to be wrong.
I fuddled through and managed to home and jog the machine but cannot seem to do much else.
What I've found through searches and the manual doesn't seem to work for me. When I press f7 to get to parameter settings to change the screen resolution the menu bar on top reads Main-Unlck not the Main-parms which the manual says I should have.
I've tried every variation of proto3 and 3 to unlock it and nothing seems to work. Doesn't help that I can't see the entire screen. Lol
Machine specs
MB19
Build date 019
Series C
LCD monitor
A.C. drives
SLS control (not full CNC)
Has the white control box not the black one (if that matters)
I know I will have to replace the battery but I would like to use the machine in the meantime.
Does anyone have step by step instructions on a quick fix for the monitor resolution?
