Hi all

I have a Pace Di4001NC. When I give it power, All I get on the display is [88:88] and the three lights to the right all ON.

The box was working fine, I don't know why this has happened. Please help

yes if its the atties, but i also have binned some that refused to take a software update, you can try using a little flux and reflowing, good luck

you need a hotair station or a butane gas pen, you really have to be very careful to much heat its fooked, also have to watch you dont bridge any legs, try search engine for a tut, should be one with a video i remember seeing how to remove atties.
