Igor, I have a Boss 5 still running the original control. Assuming you're feeding it 3 phase power, you press the E-stop override button (like you've done) and the light should go out. Then make sure that you're in "setup" mode on the rotary switch at the top right of the panel. Then you should be able to jog the axes. I have the manuals, but only in paper format. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have. Obviously, it's unlikely that more than one axis has a blown transistor, so if at least one of them doesn't run, then there may be something else wrong.
It's also worth mentioning that if you're using a rotary phase converter, it's important that the generated phase not feed the stepper power supply. The generated voltage is too high, overloading the stepper drive and blowing transistors. I believe it's connected to L1 & L2 but you'll have to confirm. When I first installed the machine, I went through 2 or 3 transistors before figuring this out. With respect to conversions, I understand that a breakout board can be used to adapt the machine to EMC2, but can't say what additional hardware might be required. Someone else will have to speak to that. I don't have three phase power, so I'm doing the total retrofit (excepting steppers), with Gecko 203V's, Antek 70VDC power supply & 240 to 120V stepdown transformer, a VFD, and a Pico Systems USC board. I plan to control the original air motor for the varispeed drive, wire up the original lube pump, and the coolant/spray mister relay with EMC. I have yet to begin the conversion, so I'm not sure what challenges I will encounter.
