Problems with Symbiface II...

[HAL6128]

I experienced that my Symbiface made some trouble after 15 Minutes in use. Then lots of pixels appears over the screen and after executing a command the CPC will reset. Did someone experienced the same problem with its own SF? It doesn't matter which rom's are in use or if a CF Card or HDD is in use. Just after a time... beng.
The CPC itself runs without the SF very stable.

Hast Du ausser dem SF2 noch viel Zeug am Expansion-Port?

Läuft die Stromversorgung des CPC über einen Grünmonitor?

Wie wird das SF2 mit Strom versorgt (Volt, Ampere)?



Schon mal an Dr.Zed gemailt?

Außer dem SF2 ist sonst nichts am Expansion-Port. Die Stromversorgung kommt von einem separaten PC-AT-Netzteil, dass auch die Festplatte bzw. den CF-Card-Adapter versorgt. Nachgemessen sind es 11,7 Volt; muss mal sehen, wie hoch die Stromversorgung in Ampere ist.
Nein, hab Dr. Zed noch nicht angemailt, werd ich heute Abend mal machen.

It's not going to be a supply problem if it only happens after 15 minutes. Supply problems happen straight away or the don't happen at all. It's more likely that something is getting too hot or there's a bad solder joint somewhere. Have you felt the IC's to see if anything is getting warmer than it should?

I got no idea what the english word is, so...


Prüfe mal die Elektrolyt-Kondansatoren, die machen manchmal Ärger in diese Richtung.

electrolytic capacitor

...just checked the temperature yesterday, but apart the IDE PLD ("XILINX"-Chip onboard) which was a little bit more than lukewarm none part has a warm temperature.
Didn't checked the electrolytic capacitors yesterday...
