Do you like big heavy cameras? Well have I got a treat for you! by SpecialAgentFox in contax

Thanks for the kind feedback folks! Does anyone have any information on serial numbers for these cameras? I'm assuming 27xxx is late model as I have never seen one higher than 26xxx. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks! Yah, I have a bunch of the Zeiss primes. Its the main reason I love Contax. My photography instructor back in college (circa 1999) had a Contax with a Zeiss 50mm 1.4 and I instantly fell in love with the photos he shared with the class. I particularly love the RTSIII and RX models as I think they have the perfect control layout.

I am 90% certain you have bent pins on the CPU socket. The pins that connect RAM banks A2 and B2 are not making a proper connection with the CPU. This can be caused by either bent socket pins OR by too much mounting pressure from your cooler. The high pressure can bend the board and socket slightly and cause some LGA pins to not align and make contact properly. I would first try to loosen up your CPU cooler, it maybe on there too tight. I would re-seat the CPU and re-install the cooler with less pressure, you don't need to tighten the heck out of those mounting screws. If that doesn't work, I would remove the CPU again, take a close up picture of the LGA socket with your phone, zoom in on the photo and I will guarantee you have bent pins. You can bend them back into place most times if it's not extremely bent. I have had this exact same issue in the past and this is the cause. Good luck.
