Pearl 2000 lock up

[cquek77]

Does anyone know how to restore a hang board? Our pearl 2000 hangup, so to speak. The blue buttons(sorry forgot the name) to the left of the grey Attributes buttons are not responding. We did a Wipeall, yet its still not functioning.

Is there some internal reset button?

Thanks

Chapter 14.6 from the manual (page 122):

14.6 Resetting the desk to factory settings with the WIPEALL link

The desk can be totally reset by fitting the WIPEALL link on the main circuit board for the Pearl. Subsequently powering the desk up will perform a Power On Reset, restoring the factory defaults.

Before you do this, make sure you have a System Software disk. This is a precaution. You can make one yourself. See the first part of Section 14.7.3 Changing your System Software.

14.6.1 Fitting a WIPEALL link on the Pearl

· Turn Key to Program. Puts you in Live Program Mode.

· Save your Show on a blank disk. See Section 14.1.2 Saving your show to disk.

· Switch off the desk and unplug it. To avoid damage to desk or technician.

· Undo the Dzus fasteners holding the top panel to the case and open the desk. Plugging in the desk lamp makes it easier to open the desk.

· Locate the WIPEALL Link. This is on the main processor board (The largest PCB) near the main processor which is a large black chip.

· Move the blue jumper link header to connect both terminals.

· Plug in and power up the desk. The LCD Screen should now display the AVOS II menu.

· Assuming it powers up correctly, press Softbutton A [Start The System]. Do NOT select any other option.

· Power down the desk and unplug it.

· Remove the link. Replace this as it was found. Do not forget to remove the link or the desk will always power up in AVOS!

· Close the desk and refasten the Dzus fasteners.

· Plug in and power up the desk.

· Reload your Show in the usual way.
