CS MKIII Card Crapping Out Again..
« on: November 18, 2007, 08:46:39 PM »
Before I send it off to France, any other ideas?

It works for ahwile then Amiga refuses to boot with it installed. When it works, it works fine, no crashes etc. I've noticed that the clock says 1978 sometimes and now it's set to 1995. Could that be an issue with the CS? I've totally taken the system apart to look for anything that could be grounding, used different standoffs on the CPU board... my A3640 works without fail in this system so I know the jumpers are set correctly for the CS.

Confusing and sad.. if you've mailed something off to France from the US what have you guys used, USPS or UPS or...?

Thanks,

Uhm I took the battery out. There is nothing there anymore... On a side note it was working last night.. then I powered it of.. and it refused to boot again so I put my trusty A3640 in, and works fine now..  :-?

I had a slot fan in there .. mostly due to the 040. I guess it's time for a visit to France.

I'd drop $350 bux for a good 060 card that could use 128MB of PC100 :) Oh well, Amiga is a good hobby... less dangerous then some hehe  I wish it just wasn't so expensive! I wish I could give my gf my xmas wish list for amigakit.com :)

I got the CSMKIII back last night. Can't get an answer out of JJB what the problem was ( I asked him in English and French), but it fired right up! From the looks of it the flashrom has some kind of sealer on it, i'm guessing that was the prob...

Damn iBrowse is blazingly fast and just about everything else is too.. boy did I miss it!
