Re: EDP Problem



Ok I reset the ROM chips and powered back up depressing Parameter.
The display reads all 8's, I've also gotten all 6's and I've gotten strange
lines.
Each time I receive one of these (8's, 6's or lines) I power down and real
power up with Parameter held down. What does this mean?
