Prometeia DEAD.
 

damn, booted the prom, it worked just fine.
I shut the system down for 10 minutes and try to reboot it.
disptemp is +5°, bios -33° (so the unit works fine).

got some information on inet and tried to boot the prometeia again.
no go, got an error4 on the display, witch i did not get the first time.
this means the cooling unit malfunctions.
this sucks.

got warranty, only don't like to send it back to Denmark....
It must be the heater in the microfreezer, because I got condensation, witch I didn't got before. (again, this means my unit works).

:(

Bummer, .... I don't know anyone having a prometheia AND being happy about it for more then a month.

Quite an investment, those things should never happen.

unit is almost a year old, you don't hear me compain :p

just don't like to send it and wait 6 months to get it back.


huh, what's that quote ?

calantak bragging about daddy's car i guess ;)

sorry to hear Gamer ... does that warranty include transport costs?

don't think so, but I don't care about that :p

just getting that prometeia back in original state will take time.

got it back to work again, only tempdisp is 36° now and biostemp -33°.

it has to be the heater element that is broken, not the unit itself.

this is not to bad, only it sucks :p

What's the company answer ?
Time to benchtest their service :D

quote = sig

send a mail one hour ago.

maybe they will wait till warranty is void :p

they all go dead within a year anyway :)

bragging about daddy's car?
my cars own daddy's cars ;)

j/k

got already an email from chip-con.
fill in the request form :p

now lets see how long this takes

Sorry to hear gamer :(

What happend with Calantak's leaking prom?

guess that one's still in duron's custody?

aha, just have to order that heater @ Duron ? :p

I'll wait what chip-con has to say about it.

yeah, he'll get it fixed someday

if the heater is broken, ChipCon will prolly send you a new one

hmm, heater is inside the microfreezer, that could be difficult to repair :p

bad news
those things always happen when you start working at them, after they've been running flawlessy for a loooong time.

typically PC's

golden rule in IT: "if it works, don't touch it!"

don't be difficult FFS

www.goudengids.be

and phone around a bit. say that you've got a cooling unit, and the heater is broken. bring them the prom to get it fixed; if the guy that fixes is has some troubles, ask ChipCon for technical information

not THAT hard, if you can find someone that knows everything about it

sure, bowman1964 could help me, only he lives far far away :p

I dont even know where it's located, so this is indeed difficult.

call someone that knows anything about freezers

this is strange ???

I didn't touch the system and it works again ?

was going to take the prom out of my case, and tried it for the last time.
disptemps was 22° and went fast to 0°.
me :wtf:

let it go to -33 and it booted like nothing ever happend.

now, I've been around alot, but this I don't understand.

I didn't touch nothing, not even opend the prom or whatever....

this is :huh: and :nana:

explain this to me please, cause I'm :shrug:

Don't touch it anymore !! :D

like I said,
I DID NOT TOUCH ANYTHING

lol,
a self repairing unit.
R2D2 is maybe living inside.

or the compressor is failing, and this was just a taste of complete failure :p

can't be the compressor, because I would not get condensation on the evaporator.

me happy, but still don't onderstand it.

and died again.

unit ready to be shipped.....

Do nothing again, it might fix it.

I would strongly suggest dressing up in nothing but a banana-skirt and doing the ketchup dance in your garden for approx. 3 minutes while hitting yourself on the head with a frying pan (preferably tefal).

Works for me ! :D

you haven't got a prom

:^D

not that crazy....

UPS, De Post, or ?

what firm should I use ?

he has broken more hardware then you ever will

+ he doesn't try to RMA all the stuff he brakes :p

gamer, do you have warranty?
cuz sending this package there with no warranty, reparations + sending it back will cost you half a new one :(

yep, one month :)

already contacted Chip-con + 1 day later request to send the unit.

good service if you ask me.

that's his fault ...
UPS is a good way.

UPS is the one.

unit shipped today, warranty included (€ 725) .
€ 59,48 to get in in Denmark on monday.

not cheap :(

if it can bring your prommy back to life, it's cheaper then fixing any part here in .BE :)

Let's hope so :p

didn't have to use next day shipping you know.

warranty void on 05-09-03
it had to be quick :p

5:02 P.M. BRUSSELS, BE PICKUP SCAN


that's what I call service :p

if the post got paid as much as UPS...

try sending a package with the post. costs enough and somehow it takes them up to 5 weeks (and most likely over) to deliver a piece of hardware.
EMS taxipost, same day shipping, now that's cheap and fairly effective.
