Daria carpal tunnel Registered: 24/01/2002 Posts: 3937 Loc: Providence, RI	What a CS4132A, and what does it have to do with an empeg? Since the DSP is a CS4231A, I assume it's something else

weasel new poster Registered: 09/11/2003 Posts: 7 Loc: Berkshire, UK	I'm guessing it's not the power supply. I have two which I’ve tried, one that came with the unit and a replacement supply. I guess something happened when I dropped it and it then decided to bounce across the floor and roll under my car!

genixia Carpal Tunnel Registered: 08/02/2002 Posts: 3411	Since the DSP is a CS4231A,... Actually the DSP is an SAA7705H. The CS4231A is a codec. The CS4231A is used to sample analogue inputs into the empeg, eg Aux In, tuner etc so that the visuals can be used. Note that the DSP is still responsible for the audio related to those inputs. _________________________ Mk2a 60GB Blue. Serial 030102962 sig.mp3: File Format not Valid.

mlord carpal tunnel Registered: 29/08/2000 Posts: 14493 Loc: Canada	MMm.. I wonder if we can just "code around it" in the kernel for the case where this chip is dead? Oh, I suppose not, since it also kills the HD controller for some reason. Cheers

andym carpal tunnel Registered: 17/01/2002 Posts: 3996 Loc: Manchester UK	I would've have thought the HD controller problem was co-incidental. In my experience a dead chip would crash the player app to the point where the only remedy for me was reflashing the player. However starting the player with -i might solve it had I known at the time, assuming the -i makes the player app default to mp3 playback instead of tuner/aux in. _________________________ Cheers, Andy M

mlord carpal tunnel Registered: 29/08/2000 Posts: 14493 Loc: Canada	My experience (from reading logfiles posted here by others) is that when the CSxxxx chip is dead, the kernel also cannot talk to the hard drives.. so it doesn't even get so far as to load the player with any options! -ml

Here's the old boot log from my knackered unit. Is this a case of dyslexia or are there two chips a 4132 and a 4231. Because as you can see from the log it can't initalise the chip but the player carries on functioning.

mlord carpal tunnel Registered: 29/08/2000 Posts: 14493 Loc: Canada	As I said above, if you see Could not find CS4231A (version=80), then it probably will also cause hard drive problems. The real problem is in the CS4231A chip; the hard drive is just a side-effect, and is probably just fine (once the CS4231A hardware gets fixed).

As I said earlier in the post, everything would be fine until you select the Aux in (I didn't have a tuner at the time but I'd imagine it would do the same) the player would then lock and it couldn't restart. This was nearly 2 years ago, the unit went back for repair and came back with a different serial number. _________________________ Cheers, Andy M

drakino carpal tunnel Registered: 08/06/1999 Posts: 7868	Could not find CS4231A (version=80) Just started happening on my spare unit, and now it's pretty consistant. Some times it works, other times it fails. Oddly on my drive to and from work, it never booted properly until I got to my destination. Player hangs at "Loading audio..." now for obvious reasons. So, what is involved in getting this repaired? This empeg also now has a bad rotary encoder, and considering it either assumes it's 1970 or 2038, a bad clock capacitor.

mlord carpal tunnel Registered: 29/08/2000 Posts: 14493 Loc: Canada	The first step in the "repair" is to complete the diagnosis.. post a full boot log -- the reporting of this chip having failed sometimes is misleading. It seems that the same report is often given whenever anything on the peripheral bus fails.. like the IDE header in some cases. Cheers

schofiel carpal tunnel Registered: 25/06/1999 Posts: 2993 Loc: Wareham, Dorset, UK	The 4231A handles the AUX IN function for the system. If you believe that the rest is working, then it does in fact look like an isolated chip failure. Getting the chip is not a problem. However, getting it off the board without damaging the tracking, and then sucessfully soldering a new one on, is. I have done it sucessfully twice, in two attempts, so I must be lucky - however, PLEASE don't just make an attempt because you know how to solder - if you pull the tracking off the board, the player is DEAD. Think carefully before you do this. _________________________ One of the few remaining Mk1 owners... #00015

I think if I ever tried to solder, half the electronics in my house would grow legs and walk out :-) I'll look at getting someone to fix this at a later time. Unfortunatly my neighboor seems persistant on pushing his problems on to me, so I need to wait till that is over before I spend much on anything.
