What does "nnn SEM BUSY ERRORS ON GFX_MAIL" mean in CMI3 MFX2 and how to cure?
2013-11-11 by dkevefnzs@yahoo.com
I've got the above error message in MDR, or after return from MDR to CMI screens. Apparently, graphics output is not correctly updated as well. I also have lost my MFX controller memory due to empty battery; and mfxload works after power on. The controller also works, I can even open a project and jump around, with correct sound output. CMI mode is apparently fine, including screen updates.
I see Karel has had a similar thing on an MFX3 but has not got any answers so far.
(I've opened a new topic because I only found his "additional problem" when I left out most words from the actual message from the search field.)
I'm going to look through the MFX3 and Merlin service manuals, but if anyone has an idea or a hint on how to get this error away, I'd be very happy! (SEM does probably mean Semaphore, and it may indicate that some graphics drawing portion is busy when a new request comes, but why does that happen?) - I also noted that when I use the CMI key/menu on the MFX controller to change system volume level, rplay stops playing while I turn the knob. But I guess that's not really related and might even be normal.
I use the system only very rarely, so sorry, I'm far from perfectly knowledgeable with it, and I wouldn't always know what's normal and what not...
Thankd for your reading and for any reply in advance!
Kind regards, Joerg
