CSPPC BOOTUP

[Miloo]

Ive had my CSPPC for about 3 months and it rarley boots up first time, it usually takes several attempts before the thing decides it wants to boot.

How many PPC owners have the same problem?
Is it a case of the age of the hardware?

Ive cleaned the mobo, made sure nothing was shorting out, every connector, slot and removable chip and put everything back together and guess what - the machine will NOT boot at all.

I put in an A3640 changed the INT/EXT pins and still nothing. Im going to try and get an A3630 and try that as well to be sure.

Im really gutted as its only just come back from France from having the clock fixed :madashell:

Ive run out of options now so if anyone has a spare working 4000 mobo (pref a CR, REV D) they want to sell I'm interested, otherwise I may start to sell it all off and get a PS3.

UPDATE :

I put the EXT/INT the wrong way round, the A3640 does work and I can boot into Workbench, so that means the CSPPC card is dead and was dying! :boohoo:

It just doesnt want to boot, I have just the CSPPC installed and a Voodoo 3000 - nothing. Im going to send it to France and hopefully it can be saved :-(

If the PPC cpu was defective would it still make the machine not boot?

JJ B said he thinks he can fix it for 220 Euros, I'll try and find out whats wrong with it.
