Hello

Any one knows what connector on the mainboard used to prevent the build in menu to start?

When working on the main board its more easy without the turbo-r "TOP".

But then the build in menu will show up all the time and you have to press "0" to exit
or is it "9"

Anyway i think if maybe i can shortcut the connector, it will start up in pure basic right?

What connector is it?

on the A1-GT is connector CN 17 on board
pin 2 is Software switch
pin 6 is gnd

( on Hans Otten web page you have the technical guide for the A1-GT )

Hmmm not the same, it have a connector with 6 pins and one with 7, when i messured on them, pin 1 and 7 is 5v. thats for both connectors. So i better not shortcut them

mistake

I mean pin 1 and 6, actually i didn check pin 2. Is CN17 on A1GT a 7 or 6pins connector?

I cant find the documents u said on hans.o pages. I lot of links but nothing i can find acording to my problem.
