3000T heart attack
« on: February 08, 2003, 06:15:46 PM »
I have a 3000T that I have been upgrading which suddenly stopped working.  When I turn on the power the power light flashes rapidly for a second and then stabilizes.  At the same time it flashes a red screen (no text) comes up on the monitor and when the flashing stops the screen goes dark.  There is no disk activity, no boot screen.  I disconnected all drives and zorro boards and get the same results - no request for a boot disk, nothing.  Right before this happened I had removed my 060 accelerator board.  Putting it back does not help.  Power supply voltages seem ok.  Any ideas?  Jule

Thank you all for replying.  I will try reseating the rom chips tommorow.  If that does not work, I will try the roms from my 3000 D and see if that works.  Jule

I tried reseating the ROMs and then tried another set with no luck.  Since the 3000T stopped working after I had removed an accelerator board, I suspected  I had done some physical damage somewhere.  I had looked before and not seen anything.  This time I got out the magnifying glass and went over the motherboard and found two of the 68030 pins touching.  I got a needle out and seperated them and it works!  Now I have another problem - the one I was removing the accelerator for - with the accelerator in I get messages that say it cannot find resource library 44, which interferes with a number of programs, including putting up the background jpeg.  The accelorator is a Quickpak 4000T-060 rev4.  I got it off ebay and have no manual for it.  I am using GVP 060 libraries that I used on a
Trex.  Any ideas?  Does anyone have a manual for the Quickpak 060?  Can't find one on goggle or anywhere. 3.9 works fine without the accelerator.  Thanks, Jule

//RC// - thanks for the info.  I believe I installed 3.9 over 3.1 on the SCSI HD and then added the GVP 060 library.  The system works fine without the accelerator and does not give me the same resource library error.  Hence, I think it most likely my problem is the 060 library I am using.  I just downloaded a newer library from the trex site and may try that, but it still may not be the right one.  Jule

dkedrowitsch , thanks for helping out.  I will check my 060 board when I get home tonight and let you know the settings.  Yes, I would love it if you could send me the jumper settings and proper library.  My email is julep6@aol.com.  Thanks, Jule
