Hi does anyone know if a 2400 with GLOD is easy to fix?
Alex
Depends. If you are lucky, its a software reset. Less lucky, but
not too bad, is a fuse replacement. Bad, is a new powerboard or CPU
is needed.
What have you tried so far ?

I would guess that without testing, the GLOD is probably fixable by a
fuse replacerment, or at worst, a new powerboard. Roll the dice
though...

Two major data points for GLODS seem to be heat and the Power

the List it might save you some grief. FWIW, Chuck's credibility and
