On a pretty new Amtrad PPC640 , I have started having some problems...
the b drive gave me a seek error message, and now on every bootup, the b-drive
does not get recognized.....I have tried different startup disks. Also, when
the machine spins the b drive to check if it is there.... the light does in fac
t come on... although for much longer than for the a drive (both with no
disks in them), but still refuses to acknowledge its presence.
And now, the screen at bootup says 'please wait....' while it does it
diagnostics.... but after that only displays a blinking cursor, although
you can tell it has loaded dos.... and the keyboard is willing to accept
commands, the screen will print nothing.\
Has anyone had similiar problems? It is still under warranty, but
was wondering if there might be a quick fix, and finally just what my
possible turnaround time is til I might get one back, as I have become
quite dependant on it for at home work reasons.
Thanks in advance,
