I couldn't help but wonder, what do you mean when you say : won't boot up?

Browsing through the board and having played with the empeg myself for a whole week solid now (what do you mean I have a stack of work a mile high on my desk?) I must say that it gave a pretty solid impression. Mind you I am STILL waiting for my new car so I haven't dealt with the sled much yet which to me too seems it could benefit of the aforementioned tie-rib. The unit itself though has been traveling with me for a week now and that does not seem to have bothered it one bit (it currently has a place in my laptop bag until I get my empeg carry case which dumb little ole me in my excitement forgot to order together with the empeg).

Is it completely without signs of activity, or does it boot up only a little bit? If it is the latter there is one thing that might explain it. A loose HDD cable. This is not really a big deal to remedie but it is, considering the tight fit inside the empeg unit, not for the faint of heart. At the very least you would have to talk to the people at empeg (through this board or even better through the appropriate email channels) about getting permission to check that cable.

I guess what I am asking is this, could you be a little more specific on what it does/doesn't do?

P.S. The loose cables on the sled are reasonable easy fixed for a DIY-type person. But it does seem to be a something which happens one in a while. On my sled things looked okay when I checked reports of this made on the board. I do feel the cables that are on there do not look like they are made for a fair share of strain which sometimes happens during an install in a car. But like it was said, nothing a tie rib will not fix. The guy who came up with tie-ribs deserves an award by the way, is there any workplace that does NOT have a use for them ?

Cheers,
Hans
