Lindbergh error 06..!? IO Device not found?

OldFoo · Post by **OldFoo** » Sun Jun 06, 2010 12:02 pm

Hi All,

My Afterburner Climax just died on me. Right after booting it gives an error 06:IO Device not found.

The Lindbergh Manual says:

DISPLAY: I/O Device Not Found.

CAUSE: The LINDBERGH board?s I/O board cannot be found.

COUNTERMEASURES: Send the LINDBERGH board in for repair with the key chip still in place.

Well.. any tips, before I take the Lindbergh apart..??

I feel a slight panic coming up. Lindbergh stuff is NOT cheap, so I sure hope this is fixable..

Thanks..

Small update:

I removed the base board (PCI card for JVS I/O in the Lindbergh), and reinserted it. Booting the Lindbergh then yielded a BIOS POST error stating there is a resource conflict with the card in PCI slot 4 (the base board).

I then removed the base board, and booted the Lindbergh. It gave an error 06 (logical, because the base board was removed).

I then reinserted the base board and booted the Lindbergh again. It now boots succesfully.

Still a strange issue I am having: Everything works fine, all controls, all lights, EXCEPT for the stick vibration function.

Testing the stick vibration in the game test menu gives nothing; the joystick remains still...

Any tips/tricks as to how to troubleshoot this are welcome...

Still weird that it gave the error 06 in the first place. For insiders: the green LED on the base board in the lindbergh blinks green all the time.

Can't offer any advice, but best wishes on getting this fixed.

Sounds to me like your JVS Baseboard is on the way out, it's common for dust and crap to sit on that board (and corroide the SMT chips).

Didn't know the standard climax had FFB, but that isn't done by the I/O it's done by Serial drive board linked to Com1 on the Lind PCB.

Yeah, I noticed.. I did clean the board a little while ago. A lot of dust indeed.. the case fan just pulls the dust right past the JVS baseboard. A bit of a design flaw, if you ask me. They really should have paid more attention to airflow inside the Lindbergh.

How much would a replacement board cost, Andy?

It's not FFB, just a vibration motor, powered by +5V. It is directly connected to pins 5 and 53 on the JVS I/O. It is just switched on and off, as far as I can tell by playing the game... well... it used to work..

Have you tried applying 5V straight to the motor? If you do, and nothing happens, then it's the motor.

I had the same idea, but decided to first check if the JVS I/O actually sets +5V on the vibration motor, so I proceeded with opening up my precious baby:

and connecting a multimeter to the red and green/white wires coming from the I/O.

After turning on the cab, I started test mode, and triggered the vibration test. To my relief, the multimeter jumped from 0V to 5V. To my utter surprise, the stick started vibrating like nothing ever happened..?! :smt017

Conclusion: The entire cab works fine now.. but this all seems somewhat buggy and mindboggling to me..

As Andy said, corrosion on the base JVS board could be the case, but I cleaned the card recently, no corrosion is visible whatsoever. In addition, this cab has NEVER seen the inside of an arcade, and has not been used much.

With the exception of the Lindbergh unit, I did not have to clean the inside of the cab at all when I got it. The photo showing the connector is proof of that: it just looks like new. The entire cab actually looks and feels new.

Very, very, very strange..

Thank you all for helping me, though. And Andy: Please let me know what a replacement JVS PCB for the Lindbergh would set me back? Just in case.. :smt009
