RDS MAX3.0 broken (think Atmel)

Post by Yagi »

Big bummer today, after many hours of labour my SE4+ and RDS MAX where almost build in a cabinet...
What wend wrong is still a puzzle, but suddenly my RDS was gone and the red led isn't flashing anymore :(

So i think the Atmel of the RDS is gone... i still can measure crystal activity and it gets 5volts (4.58v) but still no go.

Is there more i can check? and is there a possibility to get a new Atmel?
(or send this one if reprogramming is stil possible)

Please help as you can see on the picture i did to much work to switch to another RDS.

Email me directly and we'll discuss it. I recommend an upgrade to rds max 4000+,
there is a rebate for rdsmax 30 owners. It is exactly the same size however it
has been completely redesigned and really is worth the upgrade.

One thing, if you have RDSMAX30 off for a very long time, the battery can discharge
completely and you will have a problem. In such cases leave it on over night to charge
completely, than try again.

3.0 is quite old.

I recommend that you upgrade to RDSMAX 4000+, it is a much better product.

Alternative would be to send 3.0 here for service. But the extra features of 4000+
make it a worthwhile upgrade.
