hi guys, i recieved a mini pac today from ultimarc and it wont respond at all. the board lights up with a solid green l.e.d ( that means its ok i think ) , and the pc recognises it as an ultimarc board. but thats where it all ends. nothing else works after that . ive checked my wiring numerous times and it all looks fine. out of the box these things are designed to work and are mapped with mame in mind , so why it wont work is beyond me. ive checked it on both the mame cab and my main rig . both pc's recognise the board , but it just wont work at all. its just pure frustration. i wouldnt mind, my last minipac just died for no reason at all the last day ( monday ) , i only had it working for a total of 3 months while i was building my cab. and now a new one doesnt want to work out of the box :banghead: any suggestions welcome. thanks, dave. |

maybe your wiring harness is wrong? mine came out of the box in working condition last week. Try emailing Andy, he's quick to answer. |

Note that the Mini-PAC and the U-HID are not the same board. maybe this is the source of the problem. I received your email and answered. But if you had a board fail before, we could have addressed that issue earlier. Maybe the original board was not in fact faulty? If it was we could have replaced it free of charge. |
