Hi All,
i have a problem with one of my 1050s in that it wont boot. here is a scenario:
1) turn on 1050. light turns on, head goes back and forth with activity led on. then activity led goes off (head stops at the sensor. does not hit the mechanical stop)
2) insert bootable disk (boots fine on other 1050) close latch. now head does not move, but disk spins and activity led goes on for 4-5 seconds.
3) turn on 800xl. now the 1050 does nothing. no light, no movement no sound from 1050. screen says "READY" and power LED on 1050 is ON
i've tried different cables. changing the 1050 with my spare, using same cables and power supply it all works.
those 3 big caps do not get hot, but the heat shield does get warm. i've tried pushing down the ICs in the metal shielded area. reseated connects. tried different "drive select" addresses. also tried both IO connectors.
given all that, what would be most likely to be the problem?
thank you!
david
