Hi all.
So I power up my SP & the screen reads 'Rev B Loading Software, but nothing loads.
The HxC reader powers up but has no text on it's screen & obviously isn't loading the software.
All was working fine previously & I havn't changed anything.
Any ideas?
SP1200 HxC reader not loading software?

Is the floppy power connector correctly connected ?
Can you check the +5V voltage ?

I haven't opened her up yet, as I say the HxC power is on. The screen is lit & red lights are on.
I can open her up tomorrow to check everything is connected OK.
No reason anything should be disconnected as I haven't moved it or anything but will check it, thanks.

One possible issue is the power supply : a bad connection, or a power supply dying with an output voltage falling under the 4.5V ...

I opened her up & everything is good inside, all connections etc
As I say the HxC powers up.... so could it still be the power supply?
At a lose here & need to use my SP!

Issue "fixed" on Facebook: HxC firmware updated to disable the hxc input voltage checking.
This SP1200 power supply voltage is too low (<4.4V) and need to be serviced !
