Fixed NVRAM again
Overall looks like a good buy.
Ran all diagnostics, everything passes but SPC. Channels 3-4 trigger, channel 2 won't trigger but can show a waveform. Channel 1 just low level noise regardless of input. 2-4 can show 170 ps risetimes from the fastest pulse source I have, so not bad considering.
Overall looks like a good buy.
I wouldn't say *that* until you get it working, unless you got it real cheap!

RAM I am stuck on, have to order something different. See third pic - these are 256MB 133, PC won't even POST with them in (EDIT - will POST if I leave OEM in 1st slot, but the additional RAM still won't be recognized). Did I miss a spec? Maybe they need to be CL2 or something?
SSD works fine. W2000 SP3 installed easily, but then ran into sudden shutdowns. Couldn't tell exactly what was causing them, but shut down audio, ethernet, and PCMCIA to free their IRQs and it seems to be OK now. Installed the video and front panel drivers and the PPC server, and tekscope. Unfortunately it gets to the splash screen and ... stops. Task Manager shows "WindowsScopeSer" taking 99% of CPU. If I leave it for a long time it crashes out and tells me it needs to reboot. I tried some rounds of uninstall/reinstall to see if the order matters and no good.

What type of motherboard is in your scope? Usualy these are limited to FSB 100MhzSSD works fine. W2000 SP3 installed easily, but then ran into sudden shutdowns.

What character code is displayed on the PPC board? "P" ? Check the rs232 console and post the message log.

Forgot to mention above PPC led stops at "L".
My TDS7404 is showing the blue screen of death (0x0000007B saying Inaccessible_Boot_Device) when it boots up.
I wonder if the NLX battery needs to be replaced, or does the blue screen of death portends to something more sinister that may have gone wrong? Any help would much be much appreciated.
Thanks the tip. I was hoping it wouldn't that difficult. Darn.
I will remove the case and see what the indicator says. Will keep you posted.
Happy Holidays!
