Sounds like the controller board you put in had the Chinese language loaded and selected. You could see if you can get into User Tools and change the language. You might have to update the language firmware.

I haven't tried it, but get a photo and see if you can somehow copy that into Google Translate - you might be able to tell what to press to access the functions.

When you "swopped the controller" which NVRAM did you put in the machine??? You should have put the machines original NVRAM on the new controller.......

No nvram , dipswitch or jumpers on Controller PCB!! Probably just unlucky in receiving a Controller
with wrong Firmware .

[Vollegaaz]

check the dipswitches!

This used to be quite a common problem on the old 2045's, cause was either a damaged or poorly connected ribbon cable between BICU and Controller board. I don't know if it's relevant in your case though.
