Support for an Obsession

So, picked up an obsession console. Can get it to power up but not actually start. Dipswitches are in the same spot as whats listed but set differently. When put in the "standard" config it still wont start. Any thoughts?

Parents
  • Sorry that you are having problems. What type of Obsession is it a 1 or a 2?
    Which dipswitches are you referring too?

    Thanks in advance
  • This is an obsession 1 and the dipswitches are inside the control surface on the main board.
  • Thanks for the additional information. When you say it will power up but not start I am not sure I understand what you mean. What are you seeing on the screens after boot?

    Also there is an unlabeled VGA port on the back of the console that is a direct diagnostic port. If you connect to that while it boots, you can see if there are any dos errors or disk errors.

    Try that and reply back with what you see.

    I should mention that if your support needs are more time sensitive than chat in a forum, you are welcome to contact Technical Support at 800-688-4116. You can contact me as well at the numbers below, but I am not often at my desk.

    Please be in front of the Obsession when you do.

  • When plugging into the unlabeled VGA port on the back it boots but says
    CMOS system options not set
    CMOS display type mismatch
    keyboard error

    Run setup utility
    Press <f1> to resume

    I can't find a keyboard port PS/2 or USB and the faceplates f1 doesn't help
