There's your diagnosis.

ah

i'm guessing Stu, eutronix is a member on here?

thanks again for the help!

Link up top.

Eutronix (It's also at the top of the page)

Gar. Not fast enough.

thanks guys.

Does anyone know what the code on the IR PIC should be? I may have at least one, but I need to know the code on the sticker affixed to the PIC as I cannot recall off the top of my head which is which and don't want to have to pull a display apart to find out.


Also, does anyone know if the code on the PICs is protected from reading? It may be possible to remove a working chip and program a new one as we have the needed programmers for this.

Thanks,
Stu

IC4 5.3 for a Mk2 display board (likely the same as Mk2a, as well).

Great then! Thanks for the info Mark. That's just the label on the one here! I guess the best way to find out if it's protected is to pop her into the programmer and see what happens.

Stu

yup, here she is....



in a very short space of time, i have come to the conclusion that this has to be the best forum i have ever joined, I belong to a mopar (drag race forum), a signmakers co-op forum and several sea angling forums, this far outshines the lot of them, while all have been helpful, this has certainly given me the most satisfaction!! you guys are superb! thank you for all the help.

ps, currently uploading my newly organised 25 gig of music, 5hrs and still not at 50%!!! i'll have to figure the ethernet connection before long! as well as completing the mammoth task of sorting through my "unsorted" folder which has around another 600 tracks yet to go into various folders, i'll have to add another hdd before then though as i've not enough space left on the current 30gig drive, I've sorted through about 1000 individual tracks already today, and another 3500 other tracks already sorted but into more specific folders and sub directories. then there's still the other 8gig of wmv files that need converting!!! i can see this being a labourious task!!

crazyplums, do you have a scope there?

-ml

oscilloscope? (sp?) nope! never got chance to get my head around those things! I could poss get ahold of one though. where are you going with that question?


wow.... just had the welcome Ta-Daaaaa sound from emplode, 15hrs and ten minutes to upload 25gig!!

Hugh

Nowhere in particular. But if you happened to already have a scope handy, we could have double-checked the diagnosis with it while waiting for a new chip from Stu.

No biggie. It pretty much has to be a bad chip.

Cheers

ah right, I think Stu is gonna get the chip programme duplicated before sending it to me, if possible, it's the last chip he has.

new question...
this should probably be on another thread, but is it possible to do a print out of the files and sub directories, the mrs isn'y keen on using the empeg as it takes her forever to navigate to tracks she wants. i know where most of them are but since the re-structure of my filing system it would prob help me a tad too!

i recall once trying to copy paste the list from an open folder and the pc messing itself at the thought of copying 4500 tracks to a word doc! i'm sure there's a simple way to do it!
