Is it possible for the Control Load program button go bad on an LC30? I have a 1570 error, so I usually load the three exec tapes, largest to smallest, and I’m back up and running after some messing around. This time, when I push the control load program button, nothing happens. I know it’s not the tape reader itself because I switched to a CMOS board we had for an LC20 4 axis, and I could load a tape into memory, no problem. Little stumped that this button which is rarely ever used is bad.
With the great help and direction from Mark at Gosiger, the Slot 6 board was the issue. Swapped it with one from our LC40. Tapes loaded fine after that.
