Waiting for hard disk skip

Waiting for hard disk skip

2017-02-11 by Robin Gee-Cutting

Hi guys,

I've pimped out my s1100 recently with the latest OS, more ram, new backlight and a SCSI to SD.

All seems to be working perfectly but gives me a message saying waiting for hard disc skip? 

I can't seem to skip it and I'm not sure what's wrong.

Looking online it seems maybe I've blown a fuse but looking at them both and they're both fine with the wire in the middle.

I'm using an 8gb micro sd card which has been formatted in FAT 

My SCSI to SD isn't connected to the power either but I was told it can get power from the SCSI cable and I don't need to plug that in



Also I want to upgrade my last ram but it's soldered on with like a capacitor or something to the casing, will I have to do this with a new ram card?


Much appreciated!

You are looking at the wrong fuses.(the psus' probably)

The scsi fuse on your S1000/S1100 is a two legged to-92 transistor shaped component.

It says N25 on its front side.

See here :

Check for continuity as soon as you find the part.It's on the back side of your akai near the scsi connector.

You should get 0.000 ohms between its legs or audible beep when in continuity mode.
If that's not the case the fuse is open and you should put a replacement in there.
Good luck!

on my s1000 the ram cards had capacitors that attatched to the chassis. Mine were just wrapped onto the screws though not soldered.
