Not sure actually. I dont recall what error that is. Is this a rex error? When you say you are trying to load it, exactly what are you doing? And what are you doing to get the error? Thx On Sunday, July 26, 2020, Greg Swallow wrote: > Jim/Steve, > > Got RXCMGR loaded and running. Used it

[M100] Keyboard ribbon cable replacement for a Model 102

Good Evening Folks, I received my REXCPM from Steve, so I had to pull apart one of my Model 102. I noticed the keyboard ribbon cable was damaged, either by myself or time. I had problems with this unit and the keyboard, I assumed the keys needed cleaning. Does anyone have a source for these

Everything has a purpose, I guess.  I learned to read a schematic better.  I learned how to use a logic probe and my mutli-meter better.  I got experience de-soldering.  I replaced the internal battery.  So if it holds, I'll have a sweet Model T with REXCPM installed.   On Sunday, July 26,

Working but "uncle" LOL. After logic prob test, I got some pliers and gently squeezed the LCD connector to ensure good contact with the clip and wires before reinstalling. Fired it up.  Nothing.  Blank screen.  Warm boot, nothing.  Hard rest, LCD pixels went dark momentarily.  Then nothing.

For what it is worth, logic probe results for LCD connector chip select pins: CS01 (pin 18) = HCS20 (pin 14) = HCS21 (pin 12) = HCS22 (pin 10) = HCS23 (pin    8) = HCS24 (pin   7) = HCS25 (pin 16) = LCS26 (pin 15) = LCS27 (pin 13) = LCS28 (pin 11) = LCS29 (pin   9) = L I took the prob positive

Hey Chris, The LCD has 10 actual controller chips. Each one controls 4 lines x 50 pixels. The two completely blank areas on the screen are the exact size of one of the controllers. It looks like either those controllers are not functioning, or the enable signal driving them is not

No after market ROM. Logically, I would think the fact that the top four lines are perfect, the hard reset produces a perfect Menu screen, and just the bottom four lines are garbled would be a clue where to look. I know nothing other than reading a lot off Internet.  My instinct tells me the

When comparing your two pictures, after rotating them right side up, I noticed just now that not only do you have blank blocks but some of the characters are reversed. That is really bizarre. I’m not sure if that points to a problem with how the LCD drivers are being configured/initialized or
