Here's the boot log that I get on an empeg that I bought for $200. Rob has said that one of the chips needed to be replaced but I'd like to verify that and I know he's having some problems now so I'll ask you guys to take a look at it. Sometimes it boots up fine... Solder joints look fine as does the ide cable...

Tx!

Oh, that looks so unhealthy!!!

Rob has said that one of the chips needed to be replaced but I'd like to verify that

Consider it verified, since these are not supposed to be in the output:

i2c_write: device select failedxf8010000

Dead 74LVX04 probably

Like I said, in case you missed it on my other post. I will replace that chip for you. Since Empeg support is down for a while, it's your only option right now.

Stu

I sent you a PM.

Thanks!
