RE: [xl7] Help MP7 wont boot

2003-03-31 by Aaron Eppolito

Yipes.  Sounds like you may have shocked the poor thing while you were
installing the SIMM or something.  I'd recommend taking it to a service
center.  In short of that, I'd check to make sure that nothing got
dropped in the unit while installing the ROM and that you didn't bend
any pins on the socket.  Also, make sure all the ribbon cables are
connected (but I think you said you already did that).

If you can get it to boot again, I'd recommend running diagnostics on
it, but be careful, many of them blow away user data.
