five_pin_xlr Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Hey all, Basically my spark lx says photon in the setup menu and on the little diigital display also says photon. I was talking to a regular compulite user who said it sounded odd, so call Andy Stone, which I did. He reckons it could be a knackerd chip, obviously now im going to get it checked out, but is there something else it could possibly be, which I could tell him when I give it to him. Best Regardsalex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Given that Andy Stone knows pretty much everything there is to know about Compulite consoles, I'd say it's probably him who should be telling you what's wrong with it, not the other way around! :** laughs out loud **: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat0075 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Totally agree with gareth when it comes to compulite gear Andy is THE guru! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GridGirl Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Our old Spark used to do this periodically, but if you cold-started it the problem usually went away! I'm guessing you've tried that though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andystone Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Alex, Can't believe you doubted my opinion!!! Basically the Spark and Photon are identical systems internally, the only realy difference is that the Spark has three wheels and a trackball. The motherboard therefore should automatically detect what type of system it is and set itself up accordingly. Generally this problem would be caused by a failure in the chip (a NOVRAM) losing it's information or getting corrupted, but it could also be a problem with other parts of the motherboard or the keyboard, hence we really need to take a look at it to be sure of the problem.
