Greetings all!
I have a blue unit MPC1000, I recently upgraded the son-of-a-bitching data encoder and threw in a 2GB cf and RAM expansion. I ordered a HYNIX 256MB PC133 CL3 SDRAM SODIMM 144pin Memory from eBay. It worked for 5-10 minutes and then all outgoing audio (every output) emitted that god awful TV/White Noise/Static/Glitch sound. Luckily, my search on this forum came up with the solution to remove the RAM upgrade- this indeed did the trick for stopping that noise. Not before it caused an emergency protection mode that said there was no OS found. I removed the RAM and then had to re-install JJOS-free from the original 32mb card.
I ordered a new EXM128 Keystron version off of eBay directly from Keystron's store. My question is: is it more likely that the random Hynix RAM I ordered was corrupted/damaged somehow? What are the odds that my RAM port (?is that what it's called?) is damaged and is causing this corruption issue?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions!
