If you set the settings in the 11d menu to detect the progressive , the progressive has to be working , otherwise it detects a problem and gives 91 error on machine and it will not play. You can turn off the progressive settings in the 11d menu and the machine will work with out the progressive if you would like. Or you will have to be sure the rechargeable battery on the Mikohn board is good and if it is good leave it on for a day or two to charge the battery. Then you will need a custom cable , laptop with XP , install PSP program , laptop with a 9 pin port to connect the cable from the laptop to Mikohn board for programming the progressive.
