A known-good U4 or U5 spider chip was fitted but the CPU board still misbehaves.
Swapped U4 or U5 spider still does not work
Cause: U4 and U5 together hold the operating system, so their revisions must match.
Checks
- Read the suffix on both chips.
Fix
- Pair them as A1753-CC with A1752-CD, A1753-CE with A1752-CF, or A1753-EE with A1752-EF.
