Thanks for the file TD. The unit is in peices right now. I'll put it
together, hook up a monitor and try loading the utility tomorrow. I was
lookikng over the chips, or the ones I could see that weren't covered by the
heat sink and all the grey/brown mylar, looking for holes or burned areas.
Though I couldn't find anything that looks bad.
I remember pulling the heat sink on my 50CT, and replacing the factory heat
sink... whatever it's called ...with heat sink grease when I checked to see
if I had one of the P120 CPUs (sadly no). So if I can find the grease again
(or buy more), I can look under the heat sink for damaged components.
How to get the mylar up, and reinstall it, to check components under it for
overheating is a mystery though. Ever deal with this?
Matt
