@Doobrey:
Ok mate, no offense taken ;-)
I just want it to be clear that Genesi is not DCE. Besides, concerning DCE this kind of thing will not happen with them again.

Cheers,
Ron

Hi,

@FrankBrana:
Send me all the details by private mail please, I'll see what I can do. Will be difficult though, without serial number...

@FrAmiga:
A few weeks is not christmas! All PPC cards that are now being produced are made of new parts. If they used old parts or from the DOA boards they would not have to wait for a shipment of new ones.
Regarding the lower side of the CSPPC boards, the one I have hear next to my laptop has about 10 IC's plus some more parts ;-)
Regarding compensation: this will only be a gesture from Genesi for people whose board cannot be fixed at all and that are out of warranty. Nothing more, nothing less. Take it or leave it :-)

Hi Franco,

Just called them, all that is missing is one part now. We don't know when it will arrive exactly, but the other parts that were missing are there now.

Cheers,
Ron

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your concern regarding my sleep these have been nights with little over 4 hours sleep sometimes. Still, no nightmares only sweet dreams.


So it's back to work now. More later today! :-)

Cheers,
Ron

Status update:
-Final part for the new production of replacement boards is still not in
-Repairs that were OK'd will be done next week
-I will pick these up at DCE next week, along with the ones that cannot be fixed at all and will be returned, and send them to all customers personally

That's all for now :-)

Cheers,
Ron

1 "-Final part for the new production of replacement boards is still not in"--->SAD


Sad yes, but they ordered and got everything else and have started work already. If the part is not in, what can you do? If they were to take the parts off other peoples cards that are there for repairs, would you be happy then?

Quote
2 "-Repairs that were OK'd will be done next week"----> the same 3 month ago story.


Really? I got the OK from the last customer only last week. How can that be the same as 3 months ago?

Quote
3 "I will pick these up at DCE next week, along with the ones that cannot be fixed at all and will be returned, and send them to all customers personally"----> more than SAD


"More than sad" ? I am driving two hours there and two hours back and spending my day for you guys to be able to ship the stuff that is there, and you call it "more than sad" ? :-(

You know,  Framiga, I think that more than half of the posts on this mail are from you, and lately everytime it's "it's not personal" but you're giving me BS anyway. Now I don't mind doing this effort and I am doing it as fast as I can, but if you think you can do a better job then let me know, because if I can forget about your boards, that leaves me more time to spend on solving the other boards issues.

Currently, there 22 boards left to be done. These include seven boards that will be fully replaced, three boards that are cleared for repair and four which are ready to be sent but waiting for replacement csppc's to be shipped at once (these are for you, framiga).

The other eigth can either not be fixed or are not at DCE. There have been some dealers taking in repairs but holding them and not sending to DCE, so for these there's little we can do. Apart from this there are also cases where DCE fixed the boards, returned them to the reseller and the reseller sold them as a new product to another customer. I will not disclose the reseller's data but if you want "sad", then there it is.

All the other ones have been fixed and returned.

Cheers,
Ron

Have you understood, Ron that i'm very upset with Dellert and its b u l l### and NOT with you?


Yes I have understood that you are saying that, but it is not how it reads from your posts.

Tell you what, if you are upset with Dellert personally please email him at thomas.dellert@dcecom.de and if you have direct questions for me ask them either by email at rvanherk@nl.genesi.lu or on this thread.

Quoting my words and putting your comments behind them is in my interpretation directed at me personally. It is too easy to add an "it's not meant at you" comment at the end of your post.

Cheers,
Ron

But I don't think it's fair to say that it's "any time now" time again, with all respect. Not now that the first boards have been repaired and returned.

@Dragster
Don't worry, I'm cool ;-)

Regarding the offer, that's pending can'tanswer just yet.

Hi Frank,

I have not gotten your emails, what address are you sending them to/from? Otherwise, send pmail through amiga.org please.

Cheers,
Ron

Hi,

I have one box of DCE items here, some repaired, others unfixable here in Rotterdam. We will ship them out to their owners this friday. Please note that this is not all yet, there are still items that are waiting to be fixed, and items that are waiting for parts.

I will try to post a full report on things this friday.

Cheers,
Ron

Hi Franco,

Thomas is looking but I think the ones you pointed to cannot be used, they wouldn't fit..

Cheers,
Ron

Hi,

First (non-repariable) boards have been shipped this week (as announced earlier).

Sockets have not been found yet, unfortunately. Most of the sockets from links that people have sent in are not usable or not available. We'll keep looking though.

Cheers,
Ron

Hi,

Quote
Hmmm, what about contacting Amiga.fr to see what they use to repair these boards?


Be my guest :-) But if DCE can't repair them, chances are that no-one can. After all DCE made them...

Quote
How about surface mounting the 060 like the PPC chips are?


You can't do that. The sockets that were used have an open space in the centre. Parts are moounted in that space. When you surface mount the CPU you loose that space, so it's no option.

Cheers,
Ron
