Hello First, I want to say hello to everyone on the forum, since I'm new here. Anyway, I'm kinda sorry that I joined here only because of having problems with my console Leap Frog 48. I'm gonna start from the beginning of all troubles. I got the console to work with in december 2011, so it's less than a year, but got to know it very fast, and also love it and it's principe of working, however there are some bugs and things, I'd rather see changed/different. But that's not why I'm here. In february, I faced with first freeze ever, and didn't pay much attention to that. On the VGA output display there was a " X " in the middle of the screen, and the console stopped responding, completely. However, it didn't stopped to transmit the output DMX signal. the only thing I could do was to turn in off and reboot. After a boot-up, the desk warned me about an error, and asked me if I want to copy the log to the usb key. I denied, since I didn't pay much attention and also needed a desk as quick as possible to run on, because it happened in the middle of the show. After that, it happened once more in the same night. Again, didn't save the log, but next day I did a full desk reset. Thought it could be the memory scene damaged or something. But it didn't help, since I got that trouble for a few more times. So in March, I upgraded ZerOS software on the desk, because it wasn't up to date, but that didn't solve my issues. The desk still freezed randomly, even with a completely empty scene or without doing anything special, sometimes when recording submasters, sometimes while making a pallete, etc. When I was just about to put in on a service, I decided to clean it up a little by myself, so I opened it, cleaned any peace of dust or anything inside, but that didn't help. In may, a new upgrade came out, so I upgraded it, and for about a month I had no trobles, thinking the update solved the issues. I was wrong. All summer long I was facing troubles, but couldn't get it to service, because I needed it every 3 or 4 days. These troubles now, in august, became even stranger. One of the new troubles is, that the desk freezed at deleting position or beamshape pallete, but in that case there was still a normal picture on the output VGA screen, just not responding to any click or mouse or anything... That happened even if I went to Setup and deleted "All position" palletes, but only as long as that memory scene was up. When loading up other scene from USB drive, the deleting was working fine. The other trouble, for what I'm firstly and urgently asking you for help, is, boot-up freeze with the same X in the middle of VGA screen as mentioned at the beginning of my post. Only this time it happens right after loading all software elements - after I get warning about wing initialization errors etc, where I should press ENTER and come to main desktop - at that state it freezes with X. I can reboot it for 10 times, no help, but we did notice that when we shaked a little the console, it booted up normally. When it occured every while, it's still acceptable, rather than staying without it for a month or two for service, but now, it happens everytime I need to use it, so I'm desperated. Is it possible, that some of the elements in the console itself have troubles, or bad connections? I'm attaching the log of the last boot-up trouble, if anything helps. For other freezing and troubles, is it possible, that it's the CF/MD card having some errors? Or maybe the RAM inside? If there's any chance for that, I'd be willing to put in a bigger RAM, if it would work, and replacing the memory card, since it's kinda hard working with this troubles.... ANY help would be appreciated. Thanks, Marc [slovenia] debug.dat
