Do you have the service manual?

If not, here is the link: http://dedisol.unsads.com/~squalyl/kurteries/manuals/HP%20Agilent/HP%2054710A,%2020A,%2017A,%2018A%20Service.pdf

1. Did you try to reseat the boards as suggested on page 5-22?
2. Do you have the original floppy with the firmware? If so, then you may need to reload it as per page 5-15.

I hope this helps. Good luck.
PEACE===>T

They probably needed to connect those pins but had a perpendicular track across there on every layer. #autorouted
