checksum error + algorithm #0! error

[me]

Hi everybody!

I'd appreciate some help!!!

For a while my eclipse has been showing on startup :

INTERNAL MEMORY CHECKSUM ERROR.
PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE

so I did and everything was fine. Today I've had for the first time the following message after pressing a key:

ERROR LOADING ALGORITHM #0!.
PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE

And the unit is absolutely frozen dead!

I have no problems installing the latest operating system via Flash Card but it's no good… error loading algorithm #01!

Thanks in advance!

seems like boot-installing and installing 3.51 didn't solve the problem, so i tried to install the BOOT, then install the 3.1SOFT and then instal the 3.5 soft. Now it's working but sometimes i get on startup the first "checksum" error. I'm really confused… By the way, when i installed the operating systems and was asked about clearing the setup the unit was frozen. only when i restarted i was able to get it working.
Even though it's working right now I don't feel i can rely on this machine. Any suggestions ???

 HI Javi

Bad checksum errors in internal ram reported during startup imply a
corruption of the data stored in the User Preset and Setup memory. In
most cases this data corruption will not cause a problem and the error
can be cured by SETUP/Utility/fix. Serious corruption will require reformatting of this ram, with the total loss of all User Presets and Setup information.

If
this problem occurs more than very rarely, it may be a sign that the
backup battery for the internal memory is failing. This battery
normally has a life of around 5 years. 

Please try a Clear Setup first as this is required after OS update, then proceed to Fixinternal RAM.

kind regards

I
