Hi all,
Sorry, but I won't be in SARTG this year! I have just spent a week without
power to the shack, and although it has been restored this afternoon, the
initial problem has caused the shack PC to fail. I've had to replace the power
supply, so it now starts, but it doesn't boot up.
So far, it looks like it may be a RAM problem (3 long beeps from the AMI BIOS),
but I now need to find some replacement RAM for this old PC.
However, it may be more serious than that, as the PC doesn't get very far when
booting.
I can hear the hard drive spin, so I think that may be OK, but the power
failures may mean the motherboard has failed too.
It has been a lousy week here, with mains power tripping out nightly, and when
the electrician came to find the fault, he also found that our hot water
cylinder has sprung a leak!!!
The plumber has been here most of the day, and we now have hot water, but he
still has to finish it all off tomorrow.
So, you won't hear or see GU0SUP on your screens over this weekend, and I am
going to miss the fun.
Let's hope the problem can be sorted soon!
Good luck everyone, and have fun.
73 de Phil GU0SUP
