S200s definitely shared the PSU issue. A rep from Symmetricom/MicroSemi told me that the custom manufacturer had used a part which was not spec'd properly (betting it was a cap).
I'd be surprised if the flash is corrupt. There's two compact flash cards, each with a copy of the OS. Updates go to the non-running copy, so that the current copy is a fail back for bad update. Cool strategy, but buggy for things like password changes if you have two different versions. I definitely had no problems cloning the cards and swapping my clones into a unit. I'd be very surprised if corruption was the issue, and not just a bad PSU. - Brian On Thu, Sep 24, 2015 at 7:00 AM Anders Wallin <anders.e.e.wal...@gmail.com> wrote: > FWIW our SyncServer S250 has a PSU with an electrolytic cap that has failed > at least twice over the years: > http://www.anderswallin.net/2015/08/psu-electrolytic-cap-fix/ > > Anders > > On Thu, Sep 24, 2015 at 10:21 AM, G1FEF <li...@g1fef.co.uk> wrote: > > > Do we have any Symmetricom experts on this list? > > > > I've had a Symmetricom Syncserver S200 GPS+PPS with rubidium clock > running > > for several years until we had a power cut and the UPS battery failed, on > > powering back up it won't boot at all. > > > > I suspect the flash is corrupt but they protect it in some way, so one > > can't just copy the o/s onto a new card, and the company want ££££'s to > fix > > it for me! > > > > Thanks in advance, > > Chris > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com > > To unsubscribe, go to > > https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts > > and follow the instructions there. > > > _______________________________________________ > time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com > To unsubscribe, go to > https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts > and follow the instructions there. > _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
