I think I heard about something like this a while back. I recently built a "CNC
Milling Machine" out of Lego. It's my first attempt so it's very rudimentary and
doesn't look that nice.
Once I made a small program to see how the machine worked, I downloaded it to
the RCX and run it. In the middle of the program the display went off but the
motors kept on going. I tried to turn the off and I couldn't so I disconnected
them. Then I tried turning the RCX back on and it didn't work. So I took out the
batteries, re-installed the firmware and tried again. Same thing.
Is there maybe some problem with my program? Maybe some virus got into my RCX or
is it really time to think of buying a new one?
Best regards,
Jonathan Spitz

| Hello Jonathan, (...) No, it is extremely improbable! Here is the only "virus" for RCX I know: (URL) it requires some cooperation so that it can spread! (...) I don't think so. Did you have very heavy load on all three motor outputs? if so, there is (...) (18 years ago, 16-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)
