Are you getting the flashes with the SX1 hooked up or not? I wonder why the guy had to open the CD32 in the first place. Problem sounds like a bad Kickstart or ram chips though...
I'm trying to get it working w/o the SX1 first and if the system dose not work I don't want to harm the SX1 as I will find a different CD32 for it.
For some reason the error blinks are intermittent as well I got up today and now when I turn it on it dose nothing. It is turning on and the light is a dim green as well as the TV turns black from a signal feed.
I know that the guy said there was something wrong with it possible the CD drive going bad and went to work on it and just never put it back together. But with an SX1 and a nice new Drive I can have all my game preloaded so the CD drive isn't a concern.
