I am having the same issue, except the terminal does not display a F3> prompt at all. The terminal only shows a "Boot 0x20M Spin Up", and then a LED0000EE Error. The diag readouts are:

I have tried both methods for the LED error solution, and have tried the cntrl+z over a few dozen times. I have tried using a different rom with no effect. I have tried using a identical PCB with no effect. I am simply at a loss. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
