I had this problem, did some research on the net and found a great site
which was a step by step guide to identifying the dry joint responsible for
this problem - just searched for it again, but can't find it....... buggrit!

If you're still stuck I can have a rummage and see if I can't find the pics
I downloaded at the time....

Cheers

Thanks to all!,
I couldn't get the temp site working (or the original one for that matter!)
something about a DNS error? Maybe I'll just have to be patient and wait for
the updated discoweb site to emerge.
At least the problem seems to be readily fixable (I have a soldering iron!)
once the pictures become available!
I might have to take you up on that offer, mac!
Now for the other problem that has just emerged... look out for a posting
regarding Disco 1 heater core leaking :-(
Cheers
Chookie

that temp site in my other post is working here today.

how can you have a DNS error when the URL has the IP number in it?

ooer. so it do. it reloaded here fine, must be cached somewhere; possibly
locally. I'll see how big the files are, I may have room to put it on my
webspace.

bugger. I've not got the large pictures. oh well, the article and
thumbnails are there:

If I get the large pictures, I'll substitute 'em.
