Hello all, New interesting problem out of the blue...I'm using an Ipac 4 Nothing on my board works (continuity test shows everything connected) Yet if I hold down player 1 buttons 1,2,3,4,5,6 Then every other key registers like normal. I know someone is laughing right now because it's an easy fix, however I've spent a few hours and can't seem to get it. Thanks for the help, Blue |

How many times the LED on the I-Pac flash when you first boot the pc? The number of flashes indicates if there are any problems. It is supposed to flash once and then stay lit. Have you checked that? |

Yep, checked the lights one flash then solid... Thanks, Blue |

Thanks for the help, Blue --- End quote --- I suspect two things here 1) that you have the ground connections wired incorrectly....... or 2) That you have connected some of your switches to the NC instead of the NO connection. First...Check that you have a ground connection. which is looped to each switch, and that it is connected to the bottom terminal of each microswitch. Second... Check carefully that you have the other connection to each switch on the NO (Normally Open) terminal of the microswitches, and NOT on the NC (Normally Closed) connection. I think that the second of these is the most likely..... because by pressing the first six buttons you are then effectively opening the connection on those switches and not constantly filling the keyboard buffer with keypresses from them. That would block all the other keys. Which is exactly the symptom you are getting. Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) |

Still not figured out ??? I checked all the switched, they are wired correctly... However, when i do a continuity tester, from the ground on a button, to the NO, it lights up a bit, then when button is pressed lights up a lot... I was always thought that it shouldn't light up at all when it's not pressed down. So I've checked all the connections to ensure no loose strands are touching. And still the problem persists. The only thing i can think of to do, is to unhook each button one at a time from the ipac until the problem is solved, then rewire the buttons that were the problem? Any other suggestions? Thanks for all the help, ::) Blue |
