It was sooooo simple! I was looking at the circuit board with A magnifying glass looking for some kind of obvious defect and
lo and behold, I found a VERY TINY piece of debris stuck to the pins on the side of the CPU. It was a piece of contamination that
probably got stuck there during its original assembly.
Either way, all I had to do was pick it off and BAM, the unit fired right up and does so EVERY SINGLE TIME.. It unit is now rock solid and it is finishing formatting an 2GB external drive as a burn in test as I speak.
Too bad none of you bought it when I lowered the price all the way down to
$300… + all the new stuff… It was so easy to fix!
Its still for sale though, but now the price is where it should be $700.
New Falcon030 FIXED new
