I fitted the lock because you don't want little fingers getting into the machine whilst its running

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?

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

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.
