No boot on s2000
« on: August 15, 2026, 06:00:33 pm »
Boards been gone through worked for a while.  Now getting display netplex down.  See attached lights on MPU all lit up except bottom.  Already reseated MPU and still same lights.  Ideas?  Bad MPU?  Chips?

You need to get rid of that red LED displayed on the MPU.
Turn OFF the machine's power switch.
Slide out that MPU and inspect the pins underneath for any folded over/bent pins.
If all is straight, next suspect are mis-seated, or incorrectly inserted chip leg.
Carefully lift up chips with a bent screwdriver, inspect underneath the chip bodies for folded under chip legs.
Straighten, re-install into sockets in the correct orientation, re-install MPU board, THEN turn ON the machine's power switch.

Thanks, I'll check those soon.  It's at a customers home.  I wouldn't suspect anything got bent as I hope they didn't mess with it at all.

I'd pull out that board, take some close up high resolution photos.  :Take_a_Photo:
There are members here with experienced and trained eyes that may see a problem. :sherlock:
Take pictures of the circuit board area around a large green colored battery looking like thing.
Your photo can be as large as 1000kb, but not over, in order to post.

The Varta Battery has been removed.  This one just came back from a LOOKE.  He will take it back for another look.
