A600 major boot delay.
« on: May 17, 2004, 07:24:04 PM »
Hi

Can someone please help me.
My A600 takes about 20mins to power up.

I switch it on and theres power to the lights. But the screen stay's black.

The Caps lock light stays lit even when I keep pressing it.
If left for about 20 mins it will power up ok and everythings fine after that.

Please does anybody have any idea what the problem could be and how I could fix it.

Thanks

Hi

Thanks for posting.

I have tried pressing everything inside, but to no avail.

some of the chips are warm, but I think thats normal.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Hi

I tested another PSU but the problem is still the same.

Hi

No the problem started before I put a Hard Drive in it.

Also it wouldn't accept a 2.5 HDD, so I bought a 2.5 to 3.5 converter and the HDD will only work if connected the wrong way round.


Cheers.
