Low DCV on batteries should not cause issue with MINT download, but will cause loss of MINT files (and necessitate reload) upon power down... Please contact me for additional assistance. http://www.dekhead.com

I have seen battery leakage damage traces on MINT cards... Since you indicate failure on machine initialization, assume you are able to communicate / accomplish MINT download. (?)

You may need to re-load the MINT files.

Have you tried to re-load the MINT software 1st? Are the breakers in at the back of the machine?

Hey, going to lunch now. Just for kicks, did you try to re-load Mint files? They may have been lost some other way, I have seen the DEK software do some crazy stuff in the past. Talk to You in a bit.

Robert, you will have to re-load the MINT software. It only takes a couple of minutes to do this. This will fix out the errors. Refer to your DEK manuals on how to carry out this function. Cheers, Alan.

Robert, power on the machine and go straight into DOS. You can do this by pressing and holding the Shift key as the machine is booting up. Run MINT. Try re-seating the cards too before you do this. Have you checked the voltages on the card batteries.

If problem is jumping from card to card; my direction would be 5vdc level. generally like it to be min of 5.15vdc on the MINT cards (top lead of 7-segment display). www.dekhead.com

I believe the gentleman in India found a problem with one of the EuroSystem cards; AND then an issue with a corrupted PC MINT on the HDD... Seemingly resolved.

If you are unable to get to Diagnostics to exit to DOS; Try the following: ‘F5’ (WHILE STARTING MS-DOS) –OR ‘CTRL’ – ‘C’ (WHILE HIMEM IS TESTING EXTENDED MEMORY) Once in DOS, CDMINT Type LOAD to download MINTS from HDD to cards. DEKHEAD
