Post by plazmapete »

Usually when you get a memory error it means that the battery is low on the board.
This usually happens if the machine has been stored and you can sometimes get away with leaving the machine on for a few hours.

Have you thought about swapping the board? Is it an MPU5 ?

PM me your address and I will post you one out. If it fixes your machine you owe me £10 for the board and if it doesn`t just post it back.

Not normally. It looks like your board maybe shagged.
