Thanks!!!

And we're good again :)

Tracking down the error it suggested that it might be Blu-Ray related, so I double checked and the ribbon cable wasn't quite 100%, and after reseating I managed to complete the update :)

So we're here again:


Just for fun, I decided to do the install all over again now I know my USB is good, but on a 160GB drive, thus doubling the storage over the 80GB drive that came with it. Hopefully that should work fine too, and I'm even considering dropping a spare 1TB drive in and trying that.

I'm waiting for my thermal paste to arrive, so I'm in no hurry to reassemble, so let's see how it goes.

Just waiting for the Amazon man to drop off my thermal paste and we're good to go. I now have 3 working drives for it at 80GB, 160GB and 1TB. Nice to have options :)

Then I can reassemble until I can sort out the damaged case parts, namely the back panel and the fan shroud.

Ok, so all reassembled with a spare 1TB HDD, some new thermal paste and a good clean. Downloading some demos to test it, WiFi working just fine, but the BluRay drive does so far seem to be working just fine and reading disks, so I think disk games will be good too.

Here's the beating heart:


And the picture is pretty nice too:


For £16.99 + £5 postage I think I got a bit of a bargain :)

:-D :yay: :dualthumbup:
