Sad but true, the 60 died on me this morning. After several months of storage, I decided to place it back in the setup, but when I fired it up, strange noise was coming through the outs and it could not recognize the rest 13.1 secs of mem. First thought was to resit the ram chip. Did it. Nothing. Took it out and rebooted without it. Nothing. The problem was still there. No sound would come out of it, besides clicks and decepticon talk.

So, most prob the time has come for this one. R.I.P my 60, off to the next one (most prob a mk2 this time).

Long live the rest 60's out there.

:cry: thats bad news. I wish there were more "doctors" and "medicine" for old gear. But to face th fact: We all will see the day when our lovely toys pass away.

peace and good luck on your search.

yeah, or maybe the ROM flash fried?
dont give up on it yet, and if you decide to rid it, ille give u 100 dollars plus shipping, im trying to learn these machines in and out.

I just got a 1000 up and running, so I ait too bad. If I do get it running, ille sell it back to you for the same price. just sayin somethin to think about.

I brought the 60 into the ER and the surgery came out successful. :mrgreen: After tearing it apart into every single component and then reassempled it, it came back to life. Can't figure out yet what the problem is, however I suspect that it has something to do with the mem controller board.

Anyhow, I feel that age has cought up with it at last and I need to start searching for another one sooner or later.
