RoadHog ERROR

Well from my windows experiance a STOP error, very similar to one I have had before, is a driver issue... Not sure whether it is the same on a console though...

Please tell me you're kidding?

On a few specific consoles (and computers) in the 1980s, this was a way to re-seat socketed DIP chips that had worked loose in transit. It was a bad idea then and it's an even worse idea now. In the 80's, you were about as likely to knock another chip out of it's socket as you were to get the loose one to make contact.

Today, almost nothing is socketed, so you risk cracking circuit boards, displays, or worse.

And if deliberately dropping it does fix something, it means you have a loose connection. The drop won't really fix anything, it will just delay the problem until a more inconvenient time (like in the middle of your show).

If you have a hardware problem, find it and fix it, abusing the console won't help.

I am joking (not about the leprecon support telling me to drop a 624).

Any idea what the error is? It is a new console.

That's probably a hardware problem. You can try opening it up and checking all the connections. If you're comfortable with servicing computer hardware, re-install the RAM and video card also.

If you're still having issues, give support a call and they'll coordinate getting your console serviced.

hi my name is mariano alfaya and i have a road console in mexico city with the same error please somebody can help me to fix it or tell what i need to do
thanks

I had blue screen issues with my new RoadHog when I received it last year. Zach was very helpful and recommended opening the case and pressing on all the connections; graphics card, memory chips etc.

I discovered one of the memory cards was slightly loose and it clicked when I pressed on it. Obviously moving the console around or in shipping, the memory card became unseated.
