So mad right now. I hooked it up with the PCI video card in reverese.. POOF! No more Efika.

Damn pan1k what the h*ll how'd you manage that?

I don't know. I had it running for about 4 hours. Came home, and in excitement, put it back together, whywhywhywhywhy!

F*ck it, i'll throw it in the gutter and go buy another...

yea might be $99 still at Directron though you may also need a new graphic card

Sad to hear?

PICS?

It looks normal.. no burnt traces or anything i can see..

Have you tried a different graphics card?

Yeah, I have a 9200 card. Funny thing, the Efika powers right up now, I don't have to use the power button. Blank screen, usb lights up, NIC LED's light up.. I can heard the hard drive spin up.. just no video :(

It is probably the gfx card and not the efika that died...

If I recall correctly after power loss the Efika will powerup automaticly. How long have you waited for the picture to show up with your "new" gfx card? What output are you using VGA or DVI?

Seems worthwile to ,e to hook up a serial cable and monitor the debug output.But I doubt the efika survived a flipped pci card.
Sorry to hear your bad luck. Did you have MorphOS registered already? If so (& if the Efika is really dead) contact the MorphOS-Team to manage a license transfer.

My PCI card is probably dead. I tried the AGP riser and no video.. i took the battery out, it's been sitting on my desk over night... I guess I can try to hook it up tonight..BOOO!

I also ordered a replacement... should be here in 3-4 days...

If you're in the UK, if you send it down to me, I can have a look at it and have a bit of a fiddle if u want :)

If you're not in the UK, fancy selling it to me for the cost of shipping it over here? And at the worst I can use the PCI slot and other connectors on it for other projects :)


Edit: Although before that.. try a different power supply, you may find that the card being in backwards grounded something some place wrong and has blown one of the fuses inside the PSU

OK, might sell it to you for shipping.. I'm going to hook a serial cable up to it.. and see what I get...

Well.... connected the serial console and.... nothin! :(

Damn :(

It's horrible when hardware blows up. At least they're not too expensive
