Kevit, Do you hear the hard drive spin up when you turn on the 9100? The hanging during boot up could be the 9100 waiting for the hard drive to get to a ready state.

Recently I started the Fluke 9100FT and received the following message:please replace battrey in real time clock. The system failed to go beyond this message with no further function of keys or drives, and nor the slightest inclination to boot from the floppy drive, when I pressed:soft key,F2 &F4. When I removed the SCSI card and started the system, it asked me for the system disk, once all programs were loaded ,once again it would go into an unresponsive state. I tried the service disks not knowing the credibility of the download, trying to access the time function, once again some functions were working some not. Many thanks for your help. -- Regards, Kevit Desai Tel: Mobile: +254 722 517067 _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist@flippers.com https://pairlist7.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/ _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist@flippers.com https://pairlist7.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/
