Issue with Saitek Kasparov President

Having a problem with my old chess computer, since its not registering my countermoves any more?! There is no issue when having the computer playing vs itself?!

Anyone having any ideas of a fix, or what it can be?

I would remove the bateries for a few hours & reintall them. That fixed an issue I had with another chess computer I had. If you have a power cord try the same & hit reset. Mine had a small hole in the back & instruction said to insert a paper clip to reset the computer. Good Luck.!

Ive tried that as well :-)....

But still its the same... Its not "feeling" my response moves, but can still play both black and white by itself and all led-lights etc are functioning...

In these type of boards the reed switches can malfunction and need to be replaced. My Mephisto Munchen recently had this problem after not being used for years. I was advised to leave it switched on and keep trying to get a response on those affected squares and it worked. They all came good. Good place for advice is Hiarcs chess forums. Even though not working you'd able to sell it as collectors love this type of board and they'd be able to fix it.

Thanks for your comments! Appreciated!

I might have a look into the Hiarcs and see...

I will try and see if it works better if its turned on for longer, as your were into.

Its a pity, since there is no other fault with it. The board and pieces are in excellent condition...
