From: Leif Sawyer <lsawyer_at_gci.com>
Date: Sun, 12 Sep 2004 15:37:17 -0800 I've got a very odd situation with my V1 JBR. I had upgraded it a year or two ago with a toshiba 60G hard drive, and had been very happy with it, until the JBR stopped being able to power it up. I removed the drive, and tested it in two different external USB enclosures, and sure enough - the drive works well. I put the original 20G drive back in, and it spins up just fine! It looks like the difference between the two drives is that the 20G is rated for .5A, and the 60G is rated at .7A. This extra 200mA seems to being causing the JBR to not supply the correct voltage to spin up the drive. I've checked for cold solder joints here and there, but haven't seen anything. I've cut the springs so they're not putting so much pressure on the PCB as well. Any other hints? I'm missing my music! _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2004-09-13 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
