monkeychunkuk Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 So like all things that travel it had a little problem When i set it up on location it forgot its bios setup,lucky i brought a keyboard and set it again no problem, then i moved it again its final position it did it again and also pushed the battery to make sure it wasn't loose I set it up again and left it unplugged for a minute and it started ok Im worried it maybe a recurring fault Anyone have any idea what maybe causing this? Duff batt? Loose jumper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikekim Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Steve, how about doing this with the buttons... pickup 6 blue and 6 yellow buttons (the same type as you already have) then replace the button centers with the back ones you have, so they would look like this.. cheaper than buying illuminated buttons and would work well with the Tron Theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil eye Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Came out very nice, great job! Did you make the start up and intro yourself? Also, the intro vid is private and I can't view it. Maybe its an iPad thing. The start up video worked just fine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zomboided Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I've been looking at local printing companies for my artwork...what did you get done, just a full colour print on self adhesive vinyl? Did you have any coating on it to give it some resilience, especially on the control panel? This is a good looking build too, really clean.
