A600 Help

Solid Snake · 30 May 2014, 11:12

Hi all. Today I took out my A600 out of its box and discovered it has developed a fault. I hope the pooled talent of the dedicated EAB members can possibly help me.

My A600 has 2MB ram and a 64MB CF-IDE HD with WB2.1. Now, this is the issue. When I boot the A600 everything seems fine. After around 30s-1min the WB disappears and the screen goes light gray and the caps-lock key (Green LED) remains on. The system appears locked.

I have already tried reseating the IDE-adapter & CF Card. I also tried removing the 1MB fast ram expansion and booting with the same result.

I have tried the PSU adapter with a friends machine and it is fine.

Has anyone come across these symptoms? Please

I already have. I'm getting the same result. If it is the caps, can anyone help?

Try pressing the bigger chips firmly and rebooting it.

I suspect a cold joint somewhere - maybe around the RAM chips (which are just above the expansion connector in the lower right).
