- Hi all,
- last night I went to turn my lilbro's A500+ with A570 on for my
- littler brother and somethng strange happened. IT seemed to bet starting
- up allright, but then it just seemed to reset a couple of times and then
- come up with software failure (error 800 003), it didn't even get the
- kickstart screen! It continues to do this at this, much to my bros
- annoyance. I have tried to find the fault by replacing kickstart chips
- from my little store of bits, replacing the CPU with an Adspeed (although
- that may be faulty itself, not sure) feelng ram chips for heat, removing
- the A570, removing the trap expansion all to no avail. Can somebody pleas
- tell me what the problem is so as I can rectifie it.
-
- The error it brings up is 8000 0003 with task, damn it on't bring
- up the software failure notification now just continually reboots before
- getting to kick start screen. Sometimes the drives will step for a couple
- f times and then bang the system just stops rebooting at a white screen
- (system locksup completely, no drive clicks, no nothing except this white
- screen).
-
- Oh it has a Kick switch in it too, but I remove it and the problem
- persists, under both 1.3 and 2.04.
-
- Thanx
- James Sleeman
