Pearl 2004 Manual v1 - 27th August 2004
before 100% is reached, the disk is probably faulty. Download the
software again onto another disk and try again.
7> Press 1 [Wipeall and start system] followed by Enter to restart the
main program. Do not use A [Start system] as the new software
may not be compatible with the data stored internally in the
memory.
• The show in the Pearl will be lost during the upgrade. Save the show
before upgrading, and reload it afterwards, if you want to keep it.
• You can also enter AVOS mode by holding down the 21 and 30 Flash
buttons while powering up the Pearl.
13.1.5 Hardware WIPEALL mode
You can do a complete factory reset by fitting a link on the board. You
should obviously save any show data that you want to keep. It may
also be advisable to have a backup of the system software (AVOS
option D) before you do this… just in case.
1> Disconnect the Pearl from the mains.
2> Undo the half-turn fasteners on the rear edge of the console, and
lift the fader section of the console.
3> Fit the Wipeall link. On Borris 3 motherboards this is at the
bottom right of the board near the 4-digit display. On older
motherboards it is located on the main PCB near the large square
processor. It’s labelled on the PCB legend. A link is provided fitted
to one of the pins. Fit the link so it connects the two pins.
4> Close the console (don’t fasten it), then turn on the power.
5> The console will power up in the AVOS menu. Select option A
“Start the System”. (do not select any other option when the
Wipeall link is fitted).
6> Turn off the Pearl, open it and remove the Wipeall link (fit to one
of the pins only). If you forget this, the console will do a Wipeall
every time you turn it on!
7> Close the console and refasten it.
If you do the above then restart the console without selecting “Start
the System”, you may not be able to get the console to run. Use the
following procedure to start the console. This procedure is also another
way to get into AVOS mode.
1> Turn off the console and open as described above.
2> Fit the AVOS link. On Borris 3 motherboards this is in the bottom
right corner by the 4-digit display. On earlier boards it is located
near the chip labelled “PASHA”. It is in a row of 8 jumpers, the
AVOS link is the one nearest the back of the console. A link is
provided fitted to one of the pins. Fit the link so it connects the
two pins.
3> Close the console (don’t fasten it), then turn on the power.
4> The console will power up in the AVOS menu.
5> Select A [Start the system]. Do not select any other option.
6> Turn off the Pearl, open it and remove the AVOS link (fit to one of
the pins only).
