Faulty A600??
« on: December 07, 2005, 01:13:21 AM »
Hi, I've bought an A600 on ebay and I'm really not sure if it's faulty or if I'm doing something wrong.
I'm pretty certain it's tuned in OK, when I turn it on I get a black screen, power light is on but no disk activity.
Can anyone help please?

TjLaZer:
Thanks for the suggestions

-Remove any RAM cards from belly
Nope there's none there

-Reseat the ROM chip
I've pressed down on all the chips I can see

-Remove the HD (A faulty drive will lock up, happened to me)
Non-HD A600

-Remove the shielding to see any obvious damage
Couldn't see anything wrong.

One further observation, if I leave it on at the black screen it seems to start after an hour (or so)
Weird!
