Hi All i have bumped into an issue i have not seen before the unit is a CECHC02 with the error 3040 which refers to the system Flash... I checked the incoming voltage rails (using the service manual) to the Starship 2 chip and the 2 Flash chips and they all seem to be ok, after doing some...

Thanks for the responce :) i did check the voltages but didnt think of looking at the error after removing the encoder or checking for a Syscon command for the HDMI chip i have swapped out the chip from another board but i think il buy one new just to make sure it works properly (and has the...
