OmniTurn G4 CNC: Boot-up Error
This page is for boot-up errors displayed on screen:
If there is no display on monitor and no yellow "Control ON" lamp, click here to troubleshoot power issues.
Error message on screen:
- Verifying DMI Pool Data
- This could indicate a bad hard drive, a main memory problem, or a CMOS memory problem.
If it’s a CMOS memory problem, sometimes just changing anything in CMOS can clear the issue.
Try this: turn the control off, then back on. As soon as you turn it back on, press and hold the Del key This should get you into the CMOS setting program. Once there, navigate to the date / time, and change the time, then press Esc, then F10 to save and exit. If you are unfamiliar with CMOS settings, click here for some example screens for reference.
If the computer gets past the DMI Pool Data screen after reboot, you’ve fixed the problem. If not, it could be something else; call OmniTurn Service at 541-332-7004 for advice.
- Goes partly through boot-up, then blinking cursor
- This could indicate a bad hard drive. You can boot from the thumb drive that came with your CNC, but you must first change the "boot sequence" to boot off that drive.
