I have a problem. The device was "fixed" at ffe last year, i got it back and i heard something was loose inside it. I diddnt bother to send it once more back, so I opend it and found a big blue thing thats looks like fat battery, but i dont remember what it is really called. Anyway, does anyone know where to find pictures of the swcs motherboard so i can see which way to place it, there are alteast only one place on this side of the board that it can be attached too. I can upload some pictures of it if needed.
thanks,

Blue fat thing? You mean a capacitor of some kind? |

That's just the SRAM backup battery. The unit should function properly (without SRAM saves obviously) without it. I'm surprised FFE was fixing these last year! I wonder if they still have RAM upgrades. |

Was the DX2 ever fitted with more than 64Mb of RAM? |

Not to my knowledge, but I wasn't talking about upgrading his 64m SWC. |

hm, yepp, i've been told this also, that it should work without it. Then I really wonder what the hell is wrong. I've looked at the main motherboard, everything seems to be in place, and I dont know where to actually look for a problem Any good ideas?!
this is how the screen looks like when its turned on

I'd recommend a RAM check, but since your graphics corruption isn't happening "in-game", it looks like something more serious. |

could be the ram expansion on it, but there's a BUNCH of jumpers i'd need to reconfigure to get it downgraded to the normal 32mb i think.. and there are no or non docs on this on the web. |

You can try unplugging the RAM board just to see what you get, an SWC should boot without any RAM plugged in. |
