Matt, That is exactly the info I am looking for. I started to read this manual in more detail and was moving in this direction, but this clarifies it all. Thank you! Barry -------------------- Some of the Fluke 9010a's (mine for example) might be different than these schematics, but you can look here on pdf page 137. http://arcarc.xmission.com/Test%20Equipment/Fluke/9010A%20Base/9010A%20Serv… 0Manual.pdf You should know how to convert Hex to Binary. HEX-08 -> D7=0 D6=0 D5=0 D4=0 D3=1 D2=0 D1=0 D0=0 If it's reporting BTS 8 is failing - then check the 4116 ram chip responsible for D3 - which is at locate U12. If BTS 12 are failing, it means D3 and D2 are stuck. So check U11 and U12 or their buffers. Matt On Tue, 26 May 2009 21:41:10 -0400, barry2(a)shilmover.com wrote: > Hooked up the 2nd 9010A.

Hooked up the 2nd 9010A. It returns: R/W ERR @ C000 BTS 12 - LOOP? Barry ---------------------- I been having trouble posting to the group... trying again. I have 2 non-working 9010A units.

Manual states: If a RAM failure occurs, carefully examine the diagnostic message. The RAM Test is usually sufficient for deducing the failed component directly.

Corey, That's the method and manual I am using. I dont see in the manual how to deduce the failed component. It simply states taht RAM is C000-FFFF. Also, for ROM, it only has signatures for up to rev 2A. Mine is 3A, anyone know the ROM signatures? B > I deduced that there is a Read/Write error at C000. How do I "deduce" the failed component? > The 9010A service manual has a section (starts in section 4-44) on using another 9010A to repair a malfunctioning 9010A. Copies of them are on the techtools archive or http://www.gamearchive.com/General/Test_Equipment/Fluke/9010A_serv.pdf C000 starts the address range for RAM. _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/ _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

I been having trouble posting to the group... trying again. I have 2 non-working 9010A units. On both they beep once, LEDs flash, then nothing. Hooked up a working 9010A that I borrowed (thanks David). Bus tests fine. RAM returns the following: R/W ERR @ C000 BTS 08 - LOOP? Manual states: If a RAM failure occurs, carefully examine the diagnostic message. The RAM Test is usually sufficient for deducing the failed component directly. It then does not explain how to read the message. :-) I am new to this, so be kind if its a stupid question. I deduced that there is a Read/Write error at C000.

WTT/WTB Tested and Working Fluke 9010a Tape Deck
by Matt Rossiter 17 May '09

17 May '09

I'm getting tired of trying to fix this Fluke 9010a Tape Deck that I have. Does anyone have a working spare Tape Deck that they are willing to sell or trade? I have some extra probes and other things. I'd at least like to know that it's not the troubleshooter itself. Thanks!

Help with a 68000 Pod

13 May '09

I have a 68000 pod and when I put it into self test mode, I get the following message on the 9100A. "Pod name not yet known (please reset)" I borrowed another pod (z80) and it tested fine (selftest and with a Ms Pac Man board). Ideas?

Re: [Techtoolslist] Tweaking a 9010 z80 pod to be a z80b pod?
by mike＠the-coates.com 11 May '09

11 May '09

I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work if you swopped the CPU in the pod for a B version, although I've obviously been lucky, my Z80 pod works fine at 6Mhz without me needing to do that. (I did however, replace the 12Mhz CPU with a 16Mhz one in my 68000 pod) --- Trying to get a pair of spy hunter boards working. One is brain dead and I want to run it through the 9010 paces. But I don't have a z80b pod. Is it possible to mod a z80 pod to be a z80b pod? _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/
