Pressing control start button brings up screen below but it never goes past that. Mazak tech convinced the lithium battery at the LCD rear was low but it measures full 3 V.
I hesitate to even mention the following as it's so bizarre and may just be a red herring....but the four D (Akaline) cells in back cabinet were pretty much dead, so changed those out, turn on machine and finally it goes to start up screen, hydraulics come on, etc. but I notice the hydraulic has no pressure, so assume it's running backwards, shut down machine, reverse two wires, fire it back up...and it's back to not booting up !! Crazy I know, but maybe that hints at a specific issue ??
Can control parameters be lost even if the lithium battery is good ? And am I correct in guessing the four D cells are for absolute encoder backup memory ?

Another strangeness is when on button pressed it comes up with this screen almost instantly. Shouldn't it go to Windows and do some text scrolling first ?
