Hello
This Hubble_LT takes a while to become ready then shows only SN.
No SA/user access

Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance

Is this before or after head swap? If after, there is a chance the donor heads aren't compatible enough.

I have just took it from the client. Didn't do anything yet but diagnosis.

Have loader to test? Typically it is firmware and heads issues, where one surface is great and the other makes it pull your hairs out.

Sounds like head(s) issue. More testing needed.

Better to start your own thread, but anyway, 1 platter 2 heads.
