Re: [emax] Re: Emax Boot Problem

Hi
 
You should try and open the Emax II up again and check for any loose seatings in the cables (disconnect the cables and connect them again) and apply a slight preassure on all chips. The Emax II is known for it's temperament when it has been opened up.
 
I hope that's the case for you.
 
Best regards
 
Brian

Hi all, ( my first post )
I got some similar problems...(lights on on front panel, no screen,
clicking...not healthy 
signs) after I tried (unsuccessfully) plugging my Emax 2 internal
SCSI into my Mac to try to 
xfer file samples from the Emax. I must have plugged the cables into
the board sockets 
the wrong way round. I thought I must have blown something but I
fiddled till it worked 
again. It seems ok now.
