Hi Hood,
We cannot move any of the axis via the jog keys or the joystick. 
we can load g codes into mach no problem.
the data we know it lost was the ports and pins settings. We have managed to get these from another C4 but it hasn't solved the issue.
The machine functioned when we bought it, however it would run into its mechanical stops from day 1.
it then lost all tool settings for no apparent reason, after these we inputted again, the next morning it would not move at all and the settings had gone.
Many thanks
Richard

Thanks for the reply.
I'm actually away this week, so not able to get in front of the machine, however the computer boots up fine. Mach 3 loads OK as far as I can tell, although apparently it has lost some settings ( not sure why ). I'm not able to establish if it's these settings are the reason for stopping machine from working, or if there's another more fundamental problem.
I think it will load a G code, but literally nothing happens.
Will be able to provide more detailed answer next week. Let me know if you have any other questions, that may help solve this issue.
Thanks very much for your time.
Richard

General Mach Discussion / Scandinvent C4 running Mach 3 controller

Hi my name is Richard
I am new to CNC controlled machines.
I have recently bought a Scandinvent C4 ( stone router ) which is running Mach 3 controller. I need assistance as the program seems to have lost some settings and won't work at all.
Scandinvent won't help me due to dispute with previous owner...unless I pay them £7500!
Im based in the UK ( North ) and would appreciate if someone can help/ get involved. Happy to pay the going rate!
