HD or Logic Board? error code ata1/6/3 HD:2,0

I've been having a problem with my PB Ti 500 where after running for a while, I'll get the beachball of death and my application, usually Safari or FireFox since I haven't been able to rely on the machine lately, hang. Other symptoms are the machine occasionally not seeing the drive and issues with CDs spinning up and mounting.
I'm on my third replacement harddrive, the current one has 4 years left on its warranty so I'm skeptical that it's the problem. It's a Seagate Momentus 40GB drive. The error messages, below, suggest that it might be the HD but I also wonder if it could be the logic board and the ata bus going.
Any ideas or advice are appreciated!

AHT isn't always dead on this is true.
Just out of curiosity, what are your symptoms? I am guessing that the start-up drive doesn't work if you put it into the 2nd bay?

Logic board error code?

while running the extended tests on the Hardware Test cd, the logic board test coughed up this error:
scc /1/5
anyone know what it means?
thanks,

As I recollect SCC refers to Serial Communications Controller. Probably something slightly flaky with the USB Phy.

AHT finds logic board error, but computer working fine

I ran the Apple Hardware Test to see the profile for my RAM, but 7 seconds into the test it stopped and reported a logic board error.
1. But my computer is working fine. If anyone has experience with this, I'll gladly take your advice. Do I ignore this error at my own risk? Or should I get it looked at now in case it's an early warning of something that can get worse? For the real Apple tech experts, here's the error code: 2I2C/1/1: 0x00000092.
Eleven months ago, I had to get a new power supply installed. It was covered under the extended warranty for power issues with iMac G5s. As I've indicated, it's been working fine since then.
2. Once AHT finds an error, it won't continue testing the remaining components. Does anyone know of a way to "force" the AHT to skip the logic board test and go on to test the other hardware items?
Thanks all.

Michael, pray tell, where does one find the published list of codes you refer to? I searched the whole internet (or so it seemed like it) looking for a resource like that. Are you an AASP?
Even my experienced Apple technician and his AASP contacts didn't realize that my error code relates to the European Union. (And, BTW, I'm in Canada and I purchased my iMac from a store in Canada.) You have solved a mystery!
The strange thing is that when I phoned Apple Tech Support and asked to speak to a product specialist, even they told me that the code means "logic board needs replacement." When I asked to speak to a higher dept., I was connected to Customer Relations (very nice, professional fellow answered). When I explained that this G5 iMac has been problematic for me (failure after 7 mos. of ownership, power supply failure after 3 yrs, etc.) he offered me $100.00 off a new iMac ($125.00 in Canada), which I accepted.
I did use TechTool Pro to check the computer. It found no problems. Four months later and it's still going strong. I don't know whether to be upset with Apple for not bothering to look up the code, or whether I should look at this as a blessing in disguise (how else would I have received $125.00 off a new iMac? And now, my father gets a G5 that I can confidently say is in good working order). And it's strange that my local tech's AASP friends weren't any wiser. Aren't AASPs privy to this error code info? A mystery indeed...

Logic Board Error-No Firwire

I'm almost afraid to ask this question, but I just did a hardware test on my MDD G4 Dual Gig because I lost my firewire devices today. The Logic Board test revealed an error code fire 3/20. Is something fried? Can I replace it myself? This couldn't happen at a worse time because I'm editing video!!
HELP oh wise Mac people.

Hello! Sometimes the firewire ports "trip" out. Try shutting down and unplugging everything for about 30 minutes. Then restart and see if they have reset. Tom

Freezing, Panics, and a Logic Board error

Okay, I have a PowerMac G4 Gigabit Ethernet, and it's been crashing, giving me kernal panics, and today, toasted my main hard drive. It's running on:
1.2GHz Sonnet G4 upgrade
1.5GB Ram (2x256 and 2x512)
Radeon 9800 128MB
2x20GB hard drives RAID striped
18GB spare
combo drive
2x120GB external firewire drives
I can give more details if needed, but basically, if I watch TV resolution video with VLC media player it will crash after 25 minutes or so,if I run the iTunes visualizer for 15 mintues it will crash, if I play World of Warcraft for about 30 minutes it will crash, actually, if I run any graphically intensive game it crashes. Then today I ran the Apple update for the JSE (or whatever) and 10.4.6, then when I rebooted, it gave me a kernal panic, where the first line said something about not having the driver for "Powermac G4 3,3". Then I run Apple hardware test 1.0.1, I ran that 5 times, and the first time, I got the error "scc /3/7" every time after that I got "scc /1/5" all on the logic board, and it wouldn't test pass that. I do have the machine running but since I left my system disc at my parents', I'm booting it from another machine in target disk mode that has 10.3.9 (option-boot saved my butt, kinda). Last but not least, I cannot access my main drive (the 2x20GB RAID), and I'm hoping someone has a way to get to it, but every time I start, it tells me that I've connected a disk that is not recognized my Mac OS. If the drives are gone, I'll have to deal with it, but I can't have my machine freezing on me like this, and any help is much appreciated
Gigabit Ethernet Powermac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Well after 5 tests and every time having the logic board fail I am willing to bet that the logic board IS the probable cause.
What I would do is disconnect all the drives (minus the x2 20gig raid) and get the data off each one. If that other machine you are booting up in targeted disk mode has at least 1 open ATA66 slot free then you can simply change the jumper settings on each drive and get the data off. This will also give you a chance to test and verify each disk.
If the other Mac you are using targeted disk mode on is a laptop then you could go the slower rout of taking turns with making each drive the master drive on the internal ATA66 buss that your machine started with. That way each time you start up with targeted disk mode you can get the data off that drive.
Once all your data is off I would consider the cost for a replacement board (probably $3-500 is my guess) vs the cost of getting a new machine or simply a used newer machine (like a dual 1.2Ghz G4 or something allong those lines). The drives will work in the newer machine so there would be no costs in getting new drives compatible with the system. That is my thoughts.

Board Error Codes

Is there a location where MSI lists their error codes for mobos, My new build works normally but flashes 9C, 84, 99 and A2 before booting.

There is no "error", it's the steps the boot process goes through. These are only relevant if booting won't continue at a point. The codes are universal for American Megatrends (AMI) BIOS and UEFI solutions and not an MSI special.
9C - USB Detect
84 - OEM DXE initialization codes
99 - Super IO Initialization
A2 - IDE Detect

A55M-P33 FM1 Board Error codes?

I just bought an A55M-P33 Board with an AMD A4-Series A4-3400 APU. Got it all put together and when i turn it on all the fans and everything turns on for a second then powers down and leaves my power/reset switch blinking. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

See . . . Now that is a Nice FRIENDLY answer. I realize im new here but i think a little leeway is due.

Error code post/16/64?

I've been having recurring problems with my G4.
Symptoms:
2nd internal hard drive warning such as prompting an error message of 'you must initialize, ignore, eject' then I re-boot, other times a prohibit sign, spinning rainbows, kernel panics. It's a mess.
This only happens on start up after shutting down for the night. But I think I've made things worse
I ran suggested back-ups, PRAM resets, ran cocktail, tried disk utility from start up, ran disk warrior from start up, it found some file errors, cleaned them up. Cloned my system using Superduper, backed the hd up on a NewerTech.
Next day, start up issues again.
I ran memtest, and that found nothing. Start up from install disc, ran disk utility, everything's passing, SMART status is verified.
But it is still not operating correctly. I still have start up issues.
This has been going on for at least a week.
I ran AHT twice. The first time all tests passed. I didn't believe it.
So I ran it again and I received the following:
error detection at the logic board:
error code: scc_/1/5 (I think this is a non-apple board warning)
error code: post/16/64.
What?
My internal HD (original) is running at 85% (60g)
My second internal is 120g partitioned with mostly back-ups (not the only back up) and documents.
Thank you to all the folks who've generously posted in the past and thank you in advance for the one that catches this.

The POST/16/64 points to an error on your processor board, bad cache memory. I had this same error, still have the processor on a shelf actually, and it took me months to find the code translation.
Apple says for a POST/16/xx error
1. replace processor board
2. replace main logic board
I don't know if there is a heat issue that causes this, but, several cases that I have heard of had systems that ran very hot.
A fellow in Singapore mentioned that he had the same error and believes that the heat causes the external cache chips on the 7455 processor board to loosen(I think your Gigadesigns is a 7447 based chip). He stated that he heated his chips and resolved the error:
"The cache are DDR type samsung BGA chips. This is most difficult as both sits directly opp each other. The only way I think is to heat the chip on 1 side below 220degC(removal at 350degC and soldering in at 300degC). Best if you can get a heater blower and blow at the small gap bet chip and processor board, very tiny clearance, less than 1mm. You can give it a try for the time being, on the chip itself though not the most ideal."
If there are other numbers at the end, ie POST/16/xx yyyy then it is likely a RAM problem or RAM slot problem
1. reseat DIMMs
2. replace DIMMS
3. replace main logic board
Hope this helps, I ended up replacing my processor and as I stated before still have the originalon a shelf. I may try the heat trick one day though.

PowerMac G5 Error Codes?

Thanks In advance to everyone. I have a Late 2005 G5 Dual 1.8Ghz 6gigs of Ram, Lacie firewire 400 Pci card, internal 4 port sata Card, ATI XT800 MAc video card running tiger(10.4.11). I noticed the Machine acting very sluggish the other day, My first thought was the Memory maybe there are some bad DIMMS, After a restarted things where ok again. Right Away ran memtest, came up with no issues(I know it did'nt test all the memory) But I thought this was a good start. But so far been ok. I then ran hardware test twice at 5Min and 30 sec error Code on Logic Board (Error code 2PFW/3.10: FW) This Looks Like a FireWire Error I think but Im thinking this a memory problem, Some bad Dimms. Does anyone know what this error code is? Thanks for Looking

That is inded a Logic Board Error to do with Firewire, do all your ports work?
Have you tried it without FW devices hooked up?

Now on startup I get the 00A error code, this is mother board error code. ESC on startup does not give me a menu.
I also have messages that Product name , configuration, serial number and product number is missing. The note book however continues to work so far, except windows says it is not genuine anymore.

G5 imac won't start up error code "2ROM1/2:0x6" :(

I have a 20'' imac G5 with no camera bought in 2004. It suddenly died one morning seemingly unexpectedly.
Upon switching it on, after about a minute of blank screen a small folder icon flashes in the centre of the screen switching between the finder logo and a question mark.
I've inserted the hardware checking cd the came with the computer, holding down 'c' to perform the check.
5 seconds in whilst examining the Logic board the code ''2ROM1/2:0x6''
Can anyone help me in rectifying this issue?

Your iMac has a tiny internal PRAM battery, it might be time to replace it. See this link:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/CR2032/
You can probably find it at your local Walmart, or Radio Shack (but at Radio Shack it's $12.99).
Not sure that this is your problem, but you might want to give it a try.
Good luck.

Logic board has an error code running A.H.T.

I ran AHT 2.0.1 on my MDD Dual 1.25 OS10.4.11
It said the logic board had an error code.
2PFW/2/3:Firewire
The test stopped.
I this serious?
What should I do?
Shamus

Firewire external DVD & HD work fine for me in 10.4.11. Never tried target disk mode.
Anyway, if AHT found an error with your firewire port, I'd say you have a hardware problem with the firewire port not a software problem.   If you have lived with it this long, you can live with it a while longer.
I guess the question it how do you skip the firewire hardware test???   I do not know. Anyone know?

Query logic board prob - errors on installing Tiger

Hello
I'm trying to fix a friends G4 iBook 1.2GHz and have apparently made it worse.
It was running on 10.3.9 and warning of the HD being full so I suggested installing more RAM and updating to 10.4.8
I put in 512 mb of RAM and tried installing Tiger (from 10.4.6 Apple install disk - a generic one - not a specific to iBook version) and whatever I try it starts the instal and then stops "there were errors installing, please restart and try again"
I pulled the extra RAM out thinking that may be the cause but got same error. I tried starting the iBook in target disk mode and installing Tiger from my old G4 PowerMac. Also tried zero'ing all data on the iBook. Everything I do gets the same message. I think the message is exactly as I have typed above - there's no error code or specific reason for failure to install. Needless to say, it wont boot from the failed instal version - it just gets a black screen.
As I understand it was generally working before I did all this. It had been dropped a year ago and was reparied by Apple - new case and hinges. The battery now doesn't fit very well but it does always power up fine so I'm not assuming that is to blame for anything.
I think that gives all the necessary info. My guess is there may be a fault on the logic board. Another guess could be to do with the instal disk but it has worked fine on my G4 Powermac. Also, I have not run the Apple Hardware tester. I've had one in the past but cannot currently find it.
If you have any suggestions, I'd be very grateful to hear them. Many thanks

Hi RichT353
I my opinion you fell at the first hurdle. An overfull hard drive can cause all sorts of erratic behavior.
Instead of adding RAM, the remedy would have been a larger Hard disk.
Nevermind; you must try to restart it in a functioning Operating System, - if that's panther, that is OK, and then make some space on the disk, by dealing with excesive music, file, photos, videos, and other such personal documents.
Boot from the Installer CD, holding down the C key and then after selecting the language, go up to the top menu bar, to run Disk Utility and selecting the Hard disk, choose
Repair Disk.
Then Repair Permissions.
Exit disk utility, cancel the installation and restart normally.
Once you have things back on an even keel, then think about upgrading the OS to Tiger.
Of course adding the extra RAM will not hurt.
good luck
regards roam
