Hi John, thanks for getting back to me. I *think* that was one of the early steps I tried. I've since removed the memory battery (a few weeks ago -- it was crusty) so it's not a concern right now.
But, I figured what the heck, and just did the recovery test outlined in your link, and sadly had no response on the display. If I listen carefully, I can hear the relay engage, but other than that, no response from the system. The system can be made to beep by entering Basic and typing beep, but trying to create a simple program doesn't work. And then there's the odd connector power readings. Thoughts? --Brad On Mon, Mar 22, 2021 at 11:14 PM John R.
