[Duo2400] Re: GREEN LIGHT

[Fred Pentney]

Hi:

RE GLOD.
you might want to check out this web site. I had the GLOD. I had a techie
check my circuit board out just below the cover. Mine was caused by a blown
fuse. We know the 2400 is very power supply sensitive.  I bought a 5 amp
mini fuse for $1. Installation was completed in less than an hour. Computer
runs perfectly with the fix.

  A fix can be done with as little as only a keyboard
removal.  Instructions to check and repair are here:

Welcome to the list... sounds like you have the Green Light of Death (GLOD).
Probably a bad processor or bad I/O board, though you might be able to
revive without a repair (about $200-$300 from DT&T if processor or I/O board
is bad) by following the instructions that Sydney Ho has taken pains to
write out for us 2400 users.  Start here:

You can also search the archives of this list (search term 'GLOD' would
bring up many discussions) at either of the following places:
