It was working great last time I used it, but today (hours before load in for a gig no less) when I boot it up I get the following:
- ALL LED's and the screen come full on and stay on. Screen shows nothing, just lit up.
- I can hear the HD power up and chatter a little bit like it's trying to mount, then nothing. Still spinning, but no further activity.
- Doesn't respond at all to any button presses.
I've rebooted it several times now, no change.
I'm going to pull it from the rack, crack open the case, ground myself out, and snug everything up inside (ram, proc, connectors, etc). If that doesn't work.. I dunno what to do from there.
Suggestions? Please help, I have a gig in 4 hours! =[
Same thing happened to me man. I turn it on and what you just described is happening to mine with the exception that the front led dosen't light up.
here's a pic of what i'm on about.[/img]
I have the same thing happening to me!
I just bought an E4XT Ultra with adat expansion, updated Eos to v4.7 and everything was fine.
Uninstalled the adat and internal scsi hard disk, installed my previous ide hard disk and 8 channel analog output expander from my E6400 Ultra and when I booted the E4XT the screen filled up with horizontal black lines. So I uninstalled everything (harddrive & output exp) and now when I turn it looks exactly the same as above.
I have also exchanged the power supply from my E6400 Ultra but it still does the same thing. I am not prepared to change over the cpu ram and flash though, just in case the E4XT screws that up too. It must be a problem with the cpu ram/flash or the motherboard.
Also after looking at the board in the E4XT it looks like it has been modified, there is a thin cable that has been soldered to bridge the circuit, certain connections are missing or are different to what I have seen in the adat installation manual and on my E6400.
I have found some authorised Emu service centres in London, which is handy because they are quite local to me, not sure if I can bothered to waste any more time and money on it though.
These are the UK centres.
