P3 Fatal Error

[John_N1JM]

Before call service has anyone seen this error?

****FATAL ERROR****
In: ddc_set_coef()
span=0

Press any active key to escape



I don not have the SVGA adapter installed. Have the latest firmware. Pressing any active key does not clear(or escape).
Should I try a parameter initialization?

I searched the archives and found the answer. Apparently this is not cured in the latest firmware?

Yes, it's cured in the latest firmware but certain older firmware
versions could corrupt the EEPROM data when upgrading from certain even
older versions.  The bad data is still there even when you upgrade to
the latest version.  Doing a Parameter Initialization fixes it.
