Strand GSX

[Gerry]

Prompted by the "Check your batteries" posting I dug out my 2 old GSX consoles.

Both their batteries looked clean and shiny.

The 50 channel one booted up OK but the 125 channel one wouldn't boot, displayed various hardware errors.

I believe all the software/ licence etc are stored on the Rom.

So can I just swap the roms to get a working 125 channel console?

Cheers

Have you tried leaving the desk switched off, but with Mains power to it for 30 minutes? I have an LBX that does similar to what you describe, but boots up fine in the end. No use for a rush job, but Im guessing has some uses......

I'll give it a try.

Tried that but still won't boot up.

Our GSX does that too. I leave it powered up for 24 hours then do the full on system reset with the little white internal button. That usually gets it going again.

I did a system reset and reloaded the software about an hour ago.

All up and running now.
