jtag box showing 2 red lights

mawk

hey guys,
so my jtag box has started showing two red lights occasionally when I turn it on. top right and bottom left, or no. 2&3.

seems to work ok when it happens but i power on/off a few times anyway and it goes back to green. not overheating either, happens when just turning on

something to worry about?

Two red lights indicates that it is overheating, specifically the CPU it might just need a new layer of thermal paste.

usually yes, but now its happening when i turn it on from cold. if I reset it it shows ok

Did you get it Jtaged a while ago? I'd say it using the old wiring method, mine used to do that too.

yeah its about a year old. but this red lights business is new. should I be worried?

give it to someone to look at it if you don't feel good with it yourself.

You won't know until its checked.

I had one in Kind of like that earlier this week.
It would play perfectly sometimes then other times it would get 2 red lights within 2 minutes.

Re-applying thermal paste didn't work.
In the end a GPU reflow fixed the problem
