Re: Horrendous rasping noise

2000-12-12 by Jerry A

Ok, I fixed it. Fatory initialize didn't help, so I went into test 
mode (O-+ depressed during power-on). That seems to have done the 
trick.

Still, it's a pretty scary thing to have happen. Anyone got any 
insight on why it happens?

Cheers,

Jerry
