| Shift key not working (I-PAC) (Any Ideas??) |
| (1/1) |
| Jabba:
Hi all. Unfortunately the Shift key appears not to be working on my I-PAC. After I performed the following procedure (from Ultimarc site)... "Run any text-display program such as Notepad, or if you are in DOS type "COPY CON" to turn off the command prompt. With a keyboard plugged into the pass-through port, press CTRL-ALT-P (press and hold each key in this order). You will go into programming mode. If the MAME/ALT jumper is set to MAME you will go right into test mode. If not, you will see a menu. Enter "T" for test mode. The offending stuck input(s) will be displayed on the screen." I found the offending switch. The debug program came back and said.. 1 sw 8 = v Nothing is connected to P1 sw 8. Also, in Winpac, the 8 button is lit like it is being pressed. Anyone know what the v stands for? Could this indicate a problem with the board itself? If so, anything I can do to fix it or am I s.o.l? Thanks for you help.. |

1 sw 8 = v means that the 8th button for player 1 is mapped to the 'v' character. If you use Ctrl-Alt-P to show the current config, the shifted config shows as the 2nd element after the '='. Here's my config: hope this helps *** i-pac interactive programming and test mode *** t for button test mode l to list current config r to reset eeprom to mame defaults e to save and exit a to abort or press switch you want to program 2 up = r 2 right = g 2 sw 1 = a 2 left = d 2 sw 3 = q 2 down = f 2 sw 5 = 2 sw 2 = s 1 right = rght entr 2 sw 4 = 1 left = left tab start 1 = 1 1 * shift * 1 up = up pgup 1 down = down pgdn 1 sw 1 = lctl 5 coin 2 = 6 1 sw 2 = lalt 6 coin 1 = 5 1 sw 3 = spce p start 2 = 2 esc 1 sw 4 = 1 sw 8 = 1 sw 5 = 2 sw 7 = 1 sw 6 = 2 sw 8 = 1 sw 7 = 2 sw 6 = done press next switch or e to exit |

Look for wires connected to it (accidentally) . Also, this switch is common with the LED lights, so check the LED wiring or header. If you can't figure it out, E-mail Andy at Ultimarc and I'm sure he will make it right. |

Hmmm, thanks for the reply guys... currygoat11: Your display looks a little different than mine. I do not have the option to reset the EPROM. Maybe that would do the trick. I'll try downloading the latest version of Winpac... Tiger-Heli: I checked and absolutely nothing is toughing the P1sw8. This leads me to believe a short somewhere. I think I'll e-mail Andy. Maybe he will have a suggestion. Thanks for the help so far guys... |
