I'm new to this forum and will start with a problem
I'm owner of a Z3100 (Q5669A) which I bought already used here in France. For 1
year I had no problem with it but now I was stroked by the famous error code 08:11.
I read already some posts here and tried already different things:
- changed the backup battery
- put in and out again the formatter
- changed the PSU
but no joy.
Things that I noticed:
- The HDD (WD40 Scorpio 40GB) seems to be ok. It starts and you can see the LED flackering unregular.
- The bar on the top display stays at 0%
- the fan of the PSU is NOT running at all
- the red LED on the mainboard is on
- sometimes there was a beep at start - but most of the restarts not
What I would like to know is:
1)
if you start your Z3100 on the backside, does the fan of the PSU/Mainboard start
immidiately? I do not remember that.
2)
If the mainboard (not the formatter!) is broken, can you see anything on the
front display?
3)
Can you exchange the formatter by any other formatter of the Z31x/21x-series?
4)
Do I still need a HP technician to initialse the new formatter?
5)
has anyone tried to connect the HDD to a normal PC/notebook?
6)
Any other known sources for the fail 08:11?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
