    DSATX issues

    Hey guys I just hooked up my dsatx to try it out before it goes in the car and I'm having a few troubles with it...

    First off it will not automatically start the pc with the acc wire, when i have the jumper cable attached to the power on pins, the fans start to spin then stop... I can manually boot the pc by shorting the start up pins on the mobo though

    secondly I seem to be getting the 5 blinks on the LED which indicate overload (correct?) All i had hooked up was 2 3.5" HDD's and my epox 8rgm3i mobo with an athlon MP processor... I didnt think that this should everload the unit...

    I should also mention that this is not running on an active car battery, but its running on an old car battery that drains rather quickly, but when i was getting these errors i read 12.1-12.3v on the battery

    Any ideas on what is wrong?

    yes, seems like it might be something with the week battery, but i should be getting the serial adapter and a firmware upgrade from zootjeff soon, he beleives that should fix things
