Alright I have a Empeg MKIIA sometimes it works, most of the time it doesnt. When i hook it up in the house i get the blinking LED in the front and the LINK led in the back.

When i hook it up to the serial port and go to hyperterminal, most of the time it wont show any information on hyperterminal. Sometimes when i do the self test however it will go through the self test. THe first time i ran the self test i got this

If there is anyone present who wants to upgrade the flash, let them speak now,
or forever hold their peace...

0110 testing ic 1 (0-15mb, low word)
0120 testing ic 2 (0-15mb, high word)
0101 memory error at (data abort vector)


So i tried again and it went through the correct boot sequence and was working. So i unplugged the player and tried again this time i only got this.

To make a long story short, it works sometimes most of the times it doesn't. Most of the time when i try to do a self-test it doesnt' workk, sometimes it does.

My question is anyone have any ideas on what the problem is, and if its a hardware issue can anyone fix it ASAP and how much will it cost?
