Error 21?
« on: May 25, 2003, 06:38:00 PM »



well I reasembled my box after a pot tweak on my phillips and it was running flawlessly but then after about 10 minutes of play all of the sudden it flashes off and I get FRAG but with nothing on the screen.  I go over to the box and notice that the fan isnt running.  I guess the connection came loose when I was working on the dvd.  'its okay' it thaught 'just overheated.  I opened the box, checked the connection and rebooted after giving a few minutes to cool of.  THe fan was runninf just fine and i booted right to evox no prob.  So then I put in a disc.  It recognized it as a game but when i tried to launch it i get red flashing light and an error 21

what is wrong?

any help would be greatly appreciated
thanx
pedro

thanx alot but the problem seems to have fixed its self.  I let the box sit for about an hour and then tried agian and it is working flawlessly.  My guess is that something inside there was still hot and not wanting to run propperly.

thanx alot

Perhaps it couldn't read some of the required files on the disc the first time.
