HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!!!!!!!

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!!!!!!!

Confession: My E-Mu is actually a P2500 with XL ROM

BUT

Even though it has never been on the road and always got tender 
loving care,

IT SEEMS TO HAVE DIED!!!!!!!!
(or maybe just developed a hea[r]t condition!!)

About 2 weeks ago I installed it in a rack for playing out. I have 
not taken it out yet!

Last night, the E-Mu audio cut out and then started resetting a 
couple of times.  It came back up and I thought all was OK (HA!!).

This AM it booted OK, then did the same thing, except it doesn't boot 
fully.  Other symptoms:  upon power up, there is a short (approx 1 
sec) sound (like an env with a ramp attach and then a sharp 
release/decay) plus several pops corresponding with display chnages.

After the crash first happened the E-Mu would stall at various points 
in the boot process.  But just now it powered up fully twice and is 
performing as normal.  Of course, I expect a hea[r]t attack any 
moment.

Has anyone had this type of problem?  Any solutions (other than 
trashing it)? Thanks.

Dr. Steve

have you tried opening up the P2500 and:

a)  remove and reseat the ROMs?

b)  unplug and replug the ribbon cables?

as a former computer technical support person, i can tell you that a good
90% of problems with computer gear (and the P2500 is a computer that makes
sound, let's not kid ourselves) is loose chips and/or connectors. try doing
the above stuff before declaring it dead or dying.

if it's still got issues after doing that, do you have a local store that
does service? or are you under warranty still with E-mu? if so, get it
serviced.

Double check all the internal connections, maybe moving it has loosened up 
some of the connectors or ROMs?
