I have BC2500 (2606) with no "clamper switch" connector on board 7, nor it has "program" key for "program 2630" sequense. Is there yet a another way to enter service mode?
Problem with device is like on

Are you sure?  It's actually the microswitch that senses when the CD clamper is fully closed/open - see picture below: (You have to create short circuit from top contact to bottom contact - hold for 2-3 seconds and the display should read TEST MODE) IMG_8344

Yes, I can foud switch but it does not go to board 7 as manual says, so I think is this some different version. Will try direct from switch.

Yes, I misunderstood manual, not ON board7 but behind it.

Anyway I still cant enter service mode, shorting does nothing..

CD mechanics is ok, working on other machine, so electrical problem prehaps.

H Orava,

Did you finally got it working?

I have more or less the same problem.  My machine is not booting at all. I don't even get the standby led.

What I discovered is that the keyboard is not scanning the keys (the collum1, 2 and 3 signals are not scanning).

 it is as if the processor is hanging in a loop.

shorting the clamper switch also uses the keyboard scanning routine so maybe you have some kind of the same problem.  do you have the standby led?

 

Regards,

 

Ronaldus
