hi
i tried 2 gotek-HxC today
one is works well, but other one is blank display now(also couldn't read files)
auctually, it's my 3rd and 4th times for vintage equipment
my 4th gotek is blank display now
i think i messed up..
this is my how to:
1. soldering pins
2. connect to PC and buy Serial Bridge
3. Programmed and De-soldering pins
4. connect to Vintage Sampler(power cable only)
5. check the 'Ldr' in display
6. make USB Drive(include UPD file and index mod config file)
7. display will shows hXc
8. then copy blank images(dska0001-0999) to USB
9. plug and play
this is how to make gotek-HxC drive
and i did diffent way when i made 4th gotek-HxC drive
what i did is:
6 and 8 in same time (USB include UPD, Config and 1000 blank images)
then i plugged in when it says 'Ldr'
display shows blinking and dancing as usual,
BUT it doesn't show 'hXc' just blank!
it never show 'hXc'
so i disconnect drive and re-soldering to program mode,
PC can read drive but it's blank display
my usb drive(8gb) has red light
when i plugged in, it turns on but equipment didn't read files in usb
i think power signal is live
i de-soldering drvie now.
it's my first time to tried 6 and 8 together
also first time didn't show 'hXc' at last part
other 3 gotek-HxC drive works great(they didn't 6+8)
please help me
actually, it's gift for my friend who use still floppy disk drive
i have to work out in this week
thanks for reading

Re: Blank Display problem...
Are you using the latest v5.x.x.x firmware ?
Re: Blank Display problem...
thanks for your reply jeff
i think yes
because i downloaded every program when i buy serial bridge
so i think it's latest version
looks power signal flows in circuit
but display is blank
shows nothing
i can't do anything for it
becuase can't read anything
what can i do for it?
please help me out
thanks!

Re: Blank Display problem...
You probably have an artery gotek. Please use the last v5 firmware. the firmware is in the "wip_firmware" folder in the firmware archive :
