Re: Falcon030 Worked - Today No Video - How to Troubleshoot?

Glad to hear that you have sorted it out. @mfro is correct, there's the shortcut available, too. As for the C: vs. A: issue, you can't really avoid booting from A: in any way.

Do you mean that it's the capacitor tied to the reset button that died and put the STE in a loop ?
