Re: [Avid-L2] Avid/Mac Tip for the day Unplug IO Express

 

At the risk of sounding more arrogant than I am:

Isn't 'removing all peripherals' 101 in trouble shooting?

(in the REALLY old days I was running a Radius VideoVision with Premiere on a 80 Mhz Powermac 8100 and had (of course) issues. The retailer suggested to remove my monitors to troubleshoot…)

We couldn't get a computer that had been on since yesterday to wake up or boot even after a forced power down.  I did the unplug hold power for 5 secs several times.  Pulled all the drive sleds out of MacPro mid 2010 upgraded to 12 core.  It seemed like USB buss was dead, no light on Avid dongle and now caps lock light on keyboard.  

The AE later unplugged the IO express and it booted.  He cycled power on the IO express that is connected through a PCI card in the top slot 4.  After cycling power on the IO he was able to reconnect it and boot the computer.  I've seen internal AJA cards get wonky with audio and require the power cord pull and hold the power button to drain the buss power to get the audio back.  Just a reminder to disconnect the Aja IO if the computer won't boot.  Also the monitors wouldn't come to life of show any sign of a boot screen.

Hope this will save someone some time down the line.  I know what I will do first next time.
