Turned on my lathe yesterday and it started the boot-up then gave the
error message, "NOT CONNECTED". So far have not been able to Get any
help from the company. Did reach Tim Geist who told me he no longer
works for Teknatool. Sent an email to their help desk but no reply.
Called the tech support number got an answering machine, no callback.

Anyone ever see this error before?

Got curious and googled it.. Can't find a thing on this error, but
several posts complaining of low voltage and other errors and
Technitool replacing the main board..

Actually it was a power surge. We had a sudden electrical storm Sunday
night and by the time it started I was afraid to go out to the shop and
check. I have a "whole house" surge protector in the shop and in
addition, the lathe was plugged into a surge protector. And not turned
on. Big laugh.

It also got the well pump, the security lights and the lawn sprinkler
controller, two phones and two wall wart transformers. Had the pump
pulled and replaced today and not sure I want to know how much that cost.

IF your well went out it could of been a lighting strike miles away, hav'nt
found a surge protector that will handle a lighting strike I have had two
houses hit by lighting, one it hit the front of the house and blew out a
wall outlet in the back bedroom. The second house it blew every modern
electronic circuit in the house but did not hurt an old tube type B&W TV.
strange stuff.
