CD32 ProModule problems.
« on: November 20, 2003, 06:17:02 PM »
My friend gave me a totally messed up ProModule as resources of spare parts. There was a 68882/33 FPU inside so I took it out and put it into mine. Jumper is set to Synch because I haven't found a proper oscillator for it (so it should run @14 MHz).
The problem is it won't work. The whole module goes intact but SysInfo doesn't detect it :-(.
Please help. What should I do?
Cheers...

Positioning the bridgeboard "just right" solved RAM-vanishing problem but I still can't make that FPU work. SysInfo doesn't detect it... :cry: I'm not sure if popping FPU out is necessary. ProModule works perfectly. I'm afraid of taking it out, I don't want to make any damage to socket or mobo... Even taking it out of that destroyed ProModule was quite hard... :-(

I don't know. My friend said it was okay before his ProModule felt down from a shelf. And I doubt if it could be damaged when placed in the socket. I'm waiting for a 33 MHz oscillator, maybe this will help...

I got tat 33 MHz oscillator (finally!). Time to make some tests... maybe it'll make that unlucky FPU work...?

I did that. I use an A500 PSU borrowed from my ex- ;-). I'll try to check those connectors, maybe they are covered with dust or corroded. I need a PLCC extractor... :-(
