Title: CPU Board help
Post by: andrewmartyn on March 09, 2011, 11:01:55 AM
Hi

Not sure if I'm in the right place to post this but I might be lucky enough to get a EIII but the guy selling it has said this:

Doctor's report.  E111 is not looking in good health.   "cleaned and reseated everything on the CPU boards and Memory boards.. Won't even attempt boot.. Suspect fried CPU" It probably needs a donor EIII. That is the typical way to get these back to life when they are critically ill.

Is there someone with this spare part I've been looking for years for a EIII and to find one in the UK is a dream.

Any help or suggestions please

A photo I have seen it seems it does turn on as the blue back light is on

Andrew

Hi!

Same case here. There is a lot of data that may help you in this forum. You can get a CPU in an emax 1, 2.

regards.

Take off the hard disk and replace by ANY SCSI hard disk, even not formated.
Put power, if you see something on the display, it means your hard disk is dead.
