changing the hard drive to CCF

[Old School]

Hi Joe,
It might be worth rechecking the connections to your new brainboard, and are you absolutely sure that the old brainboard was bad? Just a thought.

Have a blessed day in Christ,
Mike W.

Hi Mike

I will recheck the brain board tomorrow. yes, I am sure my old brain board was bad. that's the board
I sent off to Munk and he kept it about a month. he sent it back and said it was bad. there was a long post about this
about a year ago. anyway, I will check to make sure everything is connected to my brain board before I took it my bad board out I numbered everything. thanks for everything mike. hope I can get her going

forgot to say it won't calibrate the faders they will not move from bottom to top they just stay still
but on the monitor, it's showing from 0% to 100%. could this also or maybe be a power supply problem. the reason I ask this is that I can't change anything by hand solo headphone channel banks pan control fat channel. nothing moves with hands but things seem to work with monitor and mouse most things move.

thanks, Joe Allen

Hmm... just to make sure:
When you move things on the desk - like move a fader up and down -> nothing happens on the monitor screen.
When you move things on the monitor -> things also move on the desk??
Is that correct?

[garrett21allen]

thanks, Aspen

when I move things like with the fader or pan pots nothing moves and nothing moves when I use the monitor things will move on the monitor screen only. not on the mixer.
thanks for your time and any help.

ok, so there seems to be no communication from the cpu-unit to the desk.
Does anything on the desk light up? (checking whether there is power to the desk)
You checked the bios settings several times, right?

Do you have a different serial cable you could try?
By the way, there's no error message on the monitor? (usually, if the cpu-unit cant connect to the desk, it'll give an error message)

[garrett21allen]

thanks, Anders

everything lights up pan pot volume nobs solo. no error message. yes I have another serial cable
I will try that today. and make sure bios sitting is right. when my d8b goes hey wire it really goes hey wire.
thanks again for your help, Anders. people like you and mike and some other forum members is what keeps people like me from giving up. thanks for that.

"different serial cable you could try",,, check the pins as well.

[garrett21allen]

Hi all

just changed serial cable and checked the bios they were correct.
tomorrow if I have time I will make sure I hooked everything back right on the brain board.
the CF disk is loading everything fine thanks to the mike. I just don't understand why its loading everything
and most everything is working only with the mouse and monitor. but can't move anything except channel faders
by hand nothing else can be changed by hand.

ok. I just checked my brain board to make sure everything was put back in place it was
as I was doing this I remembered that when I was having trouble with my brain card a few years ago
I keep trying things as they were told for me to try. and one time the d8b was on and the BFC was off and I grabbed
it and then I heard a sizzling sound. my d8b has been down ever since then when I just not to long go replaced the brain board my d8b showed sign of life that's when I got the CF kit and I'm here. so I wonder if it hurt something when it made that sizzle sound. could it hurt a power source

thanks Joe Allen
