My system has been down for long enough, the house is clean enough, and it's
time for makin' toons.
Today I've gone fault finding. I'd been told this error was usually an EDS
thing, so I've ripped (gently ;o) the cards out. One had a little rat poo.
Both look kinda warped after standing horizontal with no support in a PC
hanging on by the PCI slot and screw, and one has a point where it's all
black, and tracks may be burnt. Later tooth brush work reveals that it seems
to be "just" some corrosive stuff on the surface and the tracks *appear*
to be intact.
So I've cleaned them both up, reseated the daughter boards, dusted them off,
and put them back in. Same error. I try unplugging the 442. Same. I try using
the 442 not the MEC. Same (admittedly the 442 was still on the MEC workclock,
so...?).
I've already swapped out the C16 with one Deej sent which I'm sure is ok.
Would be very odd to have the same error on both, and I thought this error
was EDS-ish.
So I then try one EDS, then the other, and once again error 7/7. Do you need
any header multi-card cables on a single card system? I forget. Anyhow, I
had none, and same error.
I'm starting to think this is software because everything else has been swapped
out...
....ideas?
Cheers,
Kim.
