A chip for the emax on ebay, I'll ask the seller, if no one knows but I'd prefer to do that second, since I have no intention to buy it. http://tinyurl.com/un5k Matt [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I turned on my emax HD today, after not using it for some months, and the LCD display doesn't go further than its first screen: E-mu Systems Inc Loading Software The red LED on the floppy drive is lit red. The "analog processing" light is lit. Nothing happens...until I put in an emax floppy, and then the HD loads the bank from the disc. Why isn't it loading on its own? What do I do? Thanks! Ben

When I power the HD on I do not hear the usual start-up whirring of the drive. Either hard drive is dead or its power supply is. How fixable is this? Anyone? Thanks!

Sounds like the drive. Mine died the same way. It may be fixable per an earlier post from elmacaco but... It might be time that you look into replacing the drive though for your data's sake. I bought a few drives to try and see which one would work. Quite a few of them did. So now I have a few extras. They are formatted and already preconfigured for the Emax. If it turns out that you need a drive let me know... I will sell one to you...or anyone for that matter. --- In emax@yahoogroups.com, Ben Model <manaben@r...> wrote: > When I power the HD on I do not hear the usual start-up whirring of the > drive.

It is not spinning. Cannot find your post on manually spinning the disk (or don't know where to find it...I just get the posts in my inbox). Can you email me the procedure? Thanks.

I've fixed a few Emax HD's this way, and I hope it helps some people out there. if the problem is it isn't spinning, and you don't hear any HD noise, Open it up, take the lid off of the hard drive, it has some weird screws in the top, I used a small screwdriver like for glasses and a pair of pliers for more leverage on the screwdriver. Be careful not to strip the screws. Or if you find the right bit to open these, use that (I wish I had one.) If worse comes to worse, you can use pliers to loosen the screws then use your fingers. This can be really tough, so be patient. Once it is open, you will see the HD disk and the arm that writes to it. DON"T TOUCH IT!!! The disk or the arm, just very gently start the disk spinning (powered off and with the power cable disconnected) clockwise by touching the metal disk in the middle (like the cardboard in the middle of a record). spin it clockwise well a couple of times. Then apply power before closing it up, the disk should start spinning on power up. Close it up and you're all set. By the way, you need to have the emax rack upside down to open it up. Ed

Ed, This WORKED. My HD lives! All banks+funcitons+memory intact! **whew** Any measures to be taken to keep this from happening again? Or is it a matter of powering the unit on every once in a while, like turning over the engine of a car that's been sitting around for a long time? A million thanks!! Ben

Heh, I'm a legend! ;-) I'm glad this helped someone else. This makes 3 emaxes that I know of that have used this technique instead of getting a new HD. Nothing I know of to prevent it, I try turn it on often just in case, just to spin the drive. I had it happen to my rack when I drilled the hole for the scsi connector, so I think vibration may be a trigger. I think also inactivity is the major cause. I haven't had it happen again, but it is good to know you can fix it. And to think this came from my curiosity and frustration at having to buy a new harddrive!! Is yours a rack or keyboard? Glad I could help. Ed All doubters kneel!!!! ;-)
