It turns on and when you push "logic on" it
goes
into self test and just stays there with out any
codes displayed. Display just stays at "00"
voltages look close. DEC manual says system main
board or voltages off. I guess they just had a
stack of spare boards to test with.
Again, I've never worked on one of these, so this is very generic
information.
If there's a recognisable microprocessor on the controller board, I'd
check it was getting a clock signal, that the reset line wasn't being
held asserted, and then check that there was activity on the bus lines
from said microprocessor.
This might give you an idea of where to start looking for the fault.
