Hi all.
1st time here. I've had my DM45 3-axis TR BedMill since June of '08 and have been extremely happy with it. Though a recent issue has popped up. After flipping the main power switch on, the screen shows the Acer logo then the dreaded box "No Signal" pops up. Nothing after that, and no power to the controller,and the work light won't come on. I'm lost on what the problem could be.All connections have been checked, unplugged and re-plugged. I do believe I still have 2 "FREE" hours of phone tech support, since I haven't needed to make an inquiry since the day it was installed. Any info would be greatly appreciated..........THANKS!

Re: DM 45 Screen and Controller Issues
It sounds as though your PC is not booting. I expect the reason is that the CMOS battery died. It's easy enough to boot, you just need to short the power pins on the Motherboard.
Unfortunately, our records don't show what Motherboard is installed in that system or I could provide documents that detail exactly where to find the pins and where the battery is so you can replace it. If you could remove the sheet metal cover from the PC in the electrical cabinet and read the Motherboard model number off of the Motherboard (it's silk screened on the MB in big letters) and let me know what it is, I'll email you the document that matches your MB

Replaced the battery as per your instructions, jumped the Power Switch pins................NO SIGNAL!
Re: DM 45 Screen and Controller Issues
Okay, next most likely cause is a failed PC power supply. Try a different mATX or ATX supply and see if you can get it to power up.
