After sitting for a few years and my retirement, I decided to get back my high speed. Started it up, got "Adjustment Failure" on the display, so switched out the batteries, no change. (there is no corrosion) I could adjust everything with the buttons and get up and running, with a few issues.
Just as a side note, I had some repair work done on the board a few years back, by a guy in Florida (I think) He worked for NASA and did this on the side.
So now I need to fix my issues. Did the following:
1. Replaced all the fuses, just to insure they were right sized
2. Replaced resistors Q75 & Q77
3. Replaced transistors Q74 & Q76
4. Replaced 7402 chips at U45 & U50
5. Unsoldered U25, replaced with a socket
6. Installed NVRAM6116 in U25 socket, bought from Pinitech
On#5 above, I checked each pin making sure there was no continuity to the next pin.
Turned it on the got all 8s on the display, popped open the back and had a #1 error on the LED, U25 Failure.
Reseated the NVRAM6116, tried again.
Soon as I turn on to I get an immediate error on the MPU LED #6, (could be a 9, but this is a first version of a system 11 board. So should LED should only have 6 codes.
Problem now is i find no reference to an error 6 on a System 11- Nothing board.
I am out of ideas and am super frustrated.
Somebody have idea. I will admit to being a NOOB with it comes to electronics, but I can sure follow directions.
Thanks in advance
