Re: POST instantly gives 5 beeps, then stops. CPU failure?

I telephoned your +972-4-8290168 number, got a lady's voice on an answerphone, and emailed your support@fit-pc.com address over 24 hours ago.. No response here or from either of those. I am disappointed. I was planning on buying Mintbox 2 as a replacement, but if you can't be bothered to help in a t...

Re: POST instantly gives 5 beeps, then stops. CPU failure?

I have now taken the HDD out and mounted it in a SATA to USB enclosure, in the hope of accessing my old files and emails etc, and it is the HDD that gives 5 beeps (more like little whines) when plugged in. So I have to assume it was a Hard Drive failure? The HD is SAMSUNG Model: HM251HI Serial#: S23...

POST instantly gives 5 beeps, then stops. CPU failure?

Today on power on, my mintbox pro instantly gives 5 buzzes, the phoenix splash screen displays, and that's it! Pressing F2 for system utilities does nothing. Power off and back on, same thing. Grump! A quick net search tells me that 5 beeps is a CPU failure, so I am hoping that the data on the hard ...

Re: Mint Box Pro. Displayport output died..

Hi,

I just ordered a new MintBox2 from Amazon.. When I get it I intend to transfer all my files to the 'new' MintBox first, and then will see if I can get the old MintBox going. If it does turn out to be a hardware failure I will request a RMA.

Thanks,

Colin

Re: Mint Box Pro. Displayport output died..

Yes the first mint box pro.. I've no idea what it was 'based' on. That is the name it was sold under.
short two TPs (TP136 and TP137) What is a 'TP'?
Make a clear installation of OS + fit-PC3 drivers No disk of mint came with it.. What does 'clear' mean?

Mint Box Pro. Displayport output died..

Hi, I have a Mintbox Pro, bought from you on Sept 29 2012. I use dual screens and it has run faultlessly (apart from an update oopsie near the start) without being turned off more than a dozen times over the years. Yesterday while using it the screen connected to the display port went blank and disp...

Re: wireshark says mintbox has no useable interface..?

AaaaH... Should have Googled that message. What wireshark is really saying is that it doesn't have permission to access the lan port, only root can do that. So tried sudo wireshark and it shows my interfaces and wireshark works ;-) However wireshark then has a popup about not using root privileges, ...

I haven't used wireshark before on my mintbox, but need to do so. However after installing wireshark 1.6.7 and starting it I am told under the capture heading " No interface can be used for capturing in this system with the current configuration. See capture help for details. " However I can not fin...

Re: Update has caused many problems. How can I roll back?

PS Just rebooted the mint box... After reboot the screens have become mirrored again, as per the System Settings> Display menu setting I couldn't change before. :x

Had to go into the AMD Catalyst Control Center and change it all again..

Now I don't dare update or reboot!!! :x :x :x
