Xecuter 2.3b lite - no front panel switches
As the title suggests I have a 1.5 with Xecuter 2.3b.
Recently took it out of storage and have managed to get it generally powering back on, I’ve checked the HDD and despite all odds it still spins and the partitions are readable.
Annoyingly the front panel switch is rusted out, and no longer appears to be working. So without intervention the box is failing to boot, the HDD isn’t locked so stock doesn’t work.
I saw somewhere a jump on pin 2+4 to boot bank 2 which works perfectly, straight into the Cromwell flash tool.
Annoyingly jumping 2+4+5 as suggested elsewhere doesn’t appear to be booting, and looks to go to the same stock error as if the chip was off.
I’m trying to preserve whatever environment I had setup, for some nostalgia, before diving into anything else.
Any recommendations on how to get the chip to boot?
