Deciphering this Error Message
« on: September 14, 2008, 03:55:52 AM »
I recently booted an A500 I just bought and I get the following error at boot before the insert workbench disk screen:

Software Failure. Press Left Mouse Button to Continue.

Error: 8000 0004
Task: 00C034F8

I trying to figure out if I need to replace a compnent and if so which one?

Thanks. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 Also check the battery on the A501 (you may have to take the tin foil who is around it), if any.

 BTW: it is an A500 or an A500+? In the plus case, also check for battery damage on the motherboard.


It is a A500... Its not a A501 its a supra A500 ramcard (internal). Every Chip... OK... Thought the error would point to something more specifuc.
