spl147 Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 i took the mts apart there is 2 usb ports inside......what are they for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Spl, I have no idea how many are in there because I don't take my gear apart. I know one of them is for a dealer to perform a restore. I hope you understand the ramifications of both buying on ebay and taking the equipment apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I'd be surprised if you can find a dealer to either install or troubleshoot that device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterM1 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 why all the drama? I'm sure the OP understands there's no warranty through eBay purchases. It's a risk some people are willing to take. Most of the times it works, sometimes it doesn't. Limit your $ exposure based on your financial situation.OP, just return it to the seller for refund, it's a DOA item. If the seller does not cooperate, file a claim with eBay. Eventually you'll recover (most of) your funds. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterM1 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 It's for booting off the recovery USB stick and restoring the MTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronbowalker Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Anyone interested in the field of electronics should begin their "schooling" with a Multimeter. It will become your best friend if you want to continue buying used components. Some people scoff at the thought of buying someone elses problems. And then there are those of us that have learned to revitalize components instead of filling the landfills with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
