Hi there Gary. Recently I bought several sets of L2 parts from Daystar so I could see if I could perform the replacements myself (for a lombard CPU). I finally got around to trying a replacement, and while I think I put the part down correctly, I dont get the results I was looking for (no cache is detected). When you do the replacement, do you just swap the parts down or do you have to tweak something else on the CPU before the new parts start working ?
It is more than likely I botched something in the transplant, but I wanted to check first before I rework the CPU again.
thanks,
Mad Dog (Tom Peters)

Hi Tom,
It is possible that you botched something. Just inspect for perfect connections. it is also possible, that the problem is within the CPU (an L2 data blown), or that one of the parts went bad (ESD or just faulty... about 2% of caches fail).

Botched is the #1 probability. : ) I put them down in the correct facing though.
The first time I booted the machine, the cache was off, but Gauge Pro saw it as a 512K running at 167 MHz (for the 333 MHz CPU), but "disabled". After I installed the XLR8 software and rebooted, the cache wasnt seen at all by any program.
If there are no tricks to it, I will rework the parts and clean them up.
I guess a wavetable would make this easier.
thanks,
Tom
