Title: 7 red light on my LINKSTATION PRO DUO
Post by: lsegalla on January 15, 2010, 06:37:59 PM
   

I have 7 red light on my LINKSTATION PRO DUO, this seems to be knew as a motherboard problem.

I haven't the warranty so it's supposed that i will have to make this unit repair.

What should i do?

The error code depends on which hardware version you have.  Do you have one or two USB ports on the unit?

 

If you have 2 then that is correct, if you have 1 then there should be a pattern of long and short blinks

  You cannot replace the MOBO or any other componet other than the Hard Drives.  You need to load the boot image which you can get from the TFTP boot.  After that you will need to flash the firmware.

If you are from the US then you can get it from this link.  If your not then I would call your regional support for the Boot Image.
