Recently I bought a brand new E4XT Ultra with all options/expansions.
The following happened when I tried to use the unit for the first
time:
First I turned the unit on and it booted normally.
I installed the extra 64 mb and the unit recognized it, booting
normally.
Then according to the instructions I installed all other options
(rfx32, adat, 8 out and 4 in). Then, when the unit was turned on it
did not boot normally, the screen shows the emu logo and then hangs.
I decided to reinstall EOS 4.70 from floppy but this had no result.
Then I decided to follow the instructions on the installation manual
of the rfx32 card (first flash prep and then eos 4.61):
I inserted the "ZD11465 Ultra Flash Prep v1.0" floppy (which was
included in the rfx32 package) in the unit and powered up, and
pressed enter when it asked "burn to flash?". The burning to flash
seems to take place.
Then....the e4xt stopped responding.
Even after turning off and on the power: nothing happens (even no
boot from floppy), exept the harddisk is spinning up and the power
supply fan is working. Also the backlight of the display is gone.
Then I decided to return the unit in its original state: removed 64
MB, rfx32 and all other expansions. Still no result. The only thing
that is happening when powering it up is that the harddisk is
spinning up and the power supply is working. Also a few leds on the
front are burning, however with every powering up other leds are
lighting up but it seems there is some logic in which leds are
burning.
I'm very worried because a brand new unit stops working with the very
first attempt to use it.
Can it be that the operating system in flash rom is not valid anymore
because of the flash prep disk combined with eos 4.70?
Anyone ideas? Thanks!!
