Looks to me like you're on the right track plan wise. I think you're
just trying to make it harder than it is. This will do it:

function checkChoice(Form)
{
 for (i=0; i < Form.elements.length; ++i)
 {
   if (Form.elements[i].type == "checkbox")
   {
     if (Form.elements[i].checked == false)
       {
        Form.elements[i].checked = true;
        Form.elements[i].value = "NOTCHECKED";
       }
   }
 }
}
