In the past couple of months i have been trying to install the new pad upgrade but have been continually switching back to the old crap pads because of a short somewhere in my 1k that only seems to occur when the new pads are installed, and only very occasionally when the old pads are reinstalled. Yesterday i took my 1k(new pads installed) to a computer repairer who simply took the faceplate and the bottom plate off and gave things a clean by blowing inside the unit with an air compressor.
When i got my 1k home, i turned it on, and there were no more bugs, as before it would jump to bank C or D, the data wheel would only control the screen brightness, and a few other things. So now, in a good mood because things seemed okay, i threw in a cf card, and nothing appeared. WTF? I tried an array of cf cards and still nothing appeared. WTF?WTF?WTF? I felt like i was fkking bipolar due to such a rapid mood change from relief to frustration.
After a few swear words and some deep breaths, i investigated and found that when i go to the load screen while a cf card is inserted, the entire 1k freezes! Everything!
I have tried a local electronics repairer aswell, but they wont touch it, they just look at me like "what the fk is that thing, aw nah, we don't know...."
plus i'm in a pretty rural area and there aint much around here for that sort of stuff.
If anyone has any clues or knows about electronics, PLEASE HELP!!!!
I just want my beautiful 1k to work properly!
