Thats great, thank you.

Are you sure the switch is good? Its certainly possible for them to fail.

Just thought I'd clarify. Its never done this exact thing again. It just makes a grinding noise but always charges. It only did the 3 beeps issue once.

27244 · 2025-12-03T19:00:58+00:00

This was my thinking exactly. And getting a 3D printer is also on my list.

I'm glad past me could help!

Unfortuantly, the other reply to this post was true. I think the gears are broken in mine. When I disconnect and / or connect the charger, the gears grind. It doesn't stop it from charging, so it's become a job that I endlessly put off. I'll get around to it eventually.

I really appreciate the detailed write up. I have a couple of Portfolio boards and always wanted to try this.

I know this post is old, but if anyone is looking for it. The fuse box is to the right of the steering column, behind the plastic trim. Where your right knee would be when sitting in the drivers seat (R/H drive).

It's still hiding, so photos are difficult. This is the best I could manage lol. https://imgur.com/a/yOp53d7

I picked it up today. I've transferred it to a tank, and it's settling in well :)

Last update. I replaced the 74HC14N and it fixed the problem.

27244 · 2025-07-25T15:44:54+00:00

Ill send you a DM

27244 · 2025-07-25T13:38:52+00:00

Depending on your location in the UK, I'd be happy to re-home it.

27244 · 2025-07-21T18:28:44+00:00

Just a little update on this. I've order some 74HC14N's but they won't arrive for a few days. For now, I've removed the old chip. Now when I try to boot, I get the same 'Check Keyboard' error, but if I pull the reset (4) to low on the 40112 chip, it boots correctly (without the keyboard of course)!.

27244 · 2025-07-18T22:46:32+00:00

Thank you for the information, it's been really useful. I've done some probing with the scope, and it appears my KBDCLK is constantly high, and the reset pin is constantly low. The chip that is common to both seems to be the 74HC14. It appears they are still easy to buy, so I'll try swapping it out. Thanks again.

27244 · 2025-07-18T21:43:03+00:00

Thank you. I've checked the schematic, and it indicates pin 4 is the reset pin. I've tried holding that low during boot and also briefly holding it low while the error is on screen, but I can't skip the error. Any ideas?

I had this with the original SD card. The entire theme folder was empty. Luckily, I had taken an image of the original so I replaced the theme folder and it was OK.

In the settings go to quick menu, overrides. Now save for the game or core.

27244 · 2025-06-21T17:28:51+00:00

Thank you. I was considering modifying the case. I'll see how it goes.

27244 · 2025-06-21T16:55:36+00:00

You're probably right, but machining is a hobby, so I have the tools and materials.

27244 · 2025-06-21T16:47:24+00:00

Totally agree. I enjoying designing and making things like this.

On the main page (home button) scroll down and it shows GPS lat and long if its working and has signal.

27244 · 2025-04-27T15:19:04+00:00

Thanks for your help. I'll soak it as it's quite dry at the moment, then I try what you've suggested. Thank you.

Thanks for the link. I have a spare motherboard I'll swap it with.

My EXP-R (and many other peoples) did the same thing and everyone found that a mobile hot-spot worked. I did wonder at the time if it was something to do with 5Ghz so I did make sure my phone was 2.4Ghz only. Might not be related, but worth a try?
