Im picking up a DMG DMC103V with 840D next week. Going to sellers shop to lock the spindle for moving tomorrow. Machine was purchased new and used for 180 hrs then not used since 2003 or so due to internal family company dispute, the usual loooong story. No one at the shop knows much of anything about the control, they eventually just bought a new cnc machine and this one sat.
I checked it a month or so ago and it boots, spindle runs (at low speed), machine references and jogs but gets an "MDA buffer cannot be opened error 65536006" and I wasnt able to get past that to make the control do anymore more. From looking around online that error appears to be due to a dead or dying backup battery.
So Im hoping i can get it to boot to the point where I can jog to install the spindle lock fixture. Question is if the backup battery is all the way dead, what are the options(resets, reboots etc) if any to limp the machine to minimal functionality to prep to ship? Should I install a fresh battery first?
