I have a 1998 Ezpath SD that has a problem intermittently with an error that is a GPfault and sometimes it wont load the bmdc.
I had a guy troubleshoot it and he was not able to find the problem. I had another guy(both of these guys own machine repair businesses) come look at it because I could not get past the bmdc test at all. He turned the power on in the back and then spent an hour or so checking things in the cabinet and was not finding anything out of the ordinary. SO he proceeded to power up the control and the machine came back up and acted like nothing was wrong. He then stated that in this state there was nothing else he could do and gave me a $360 bill.
So in the interest of not wasting anymore money like this I am wanting to replace the computer in it or maybe convert the thing to Mach3 or some other control
My question is, can I replace the motherboard and bmdc with something more modern? Or do I have to replace the whole control?
I'm no electrical wizard, but I did manage to convert my Bridgeport Boss5 to a mach3 control, but I would prefer to use the ezpath system if possible.
