Comment on Replacement for my dead Acer L320 by G8GHUG0FAJ

I have exactly the same problem as everyone else with my L320…I beleive the plug in board that is mounted horizontally on the MB near the back left of the board looking at it from the front is the TV / FM board. It is getting very hot, so I removed it and the PC appears to be loading more at boot up but I still dont get any display or beeps. Is this board used for the graphic display too ? Before my L320 packed up the TV card was not in use as the drivers were not available for it . I use Win 7 Pro as my OS.

Hi – I have the next one up – the Maine Musician (2×12″ 100w) – it has the original Fane Cones in it and it sounds great! However, it does not have a panel on the back like yours, so only now do I have an idea to what the 4 sockets are actually for!

Hi Jared,

sorry – been busy and not checking the blog.
Don;t know if you got OS2.0 on your sampler but if not you might be in luck.
I have just found two EPROM’s that I had already put the 2.0 software on in my stash.
Let me know if your still interested and I’ll send you one.

Do you know if the S3000XL and the S3200XL use the same EPROM image?
Thanks,
Tony.

Comment on Three mobile broadband rip-off by tracey mcgee

ok folks another little 3 trick they like to use,they offer a 15 gig or 5 gig mobile brodband package per month the 1st few months will be ok,then after your sign al will keep going down ,making it impossible to use your full data allowance,i ran an independent test against my sister who was 2 months into her package of 15 gig per month,we both watched 10 identical videos at the same time and after checking our usage i had been deducted allmost 4 times the amount of gigs she had,so in essence 3 were giving me 5 gigs but charging me for 15 gigs totally illegal and this is now in the hands of the trading standards.AVOID AT ALL COST CONMEN WITH NO CUSTOMER SERVICE VALUES WHATSOEVER.

Hi, the amp is a Maine Stage 2×10″ combo 80watts. I’ve always wanted a Stage, but only seemed to get hold of a Maine Club, which is a 2×8″ 50w combo. I have all the circuit diagrams for this range of guitar amps, which I really like the sound of. Is it for sale? If so, what are you asking for it?
Regards,
Mike

Hey it’s me again. I’ve been talking with a sampler/EPROM company and they’re trying to help me figure this out as well. I bought an EPROM from them which they said would work but it doesn’t. They’re going through their old files to see if they can fix something up.

But hey man, I’m seriously willing to give you some Paypal cash if you can dig that old EPROM file out for me. I’ve got a programmer but I’m not sure what to edit in the cod file that I have to get it working and if I’m supposed to use a Hex editor or what. If you can’t find the file I’ll still give you some Paypal cash for telling me what to edit in the file to get it working.
