"VT125 IC Error"
Does anyone have a service manual or other troubleshooting
documents that might help me fix this error?
I don't think I have the service manual, but here are the six types of
errors indicated by the self-test error messages, from the User Guide.
VT125 Offline VT100 text terminal is LOCAL. LOCAL was saved
in SET-UP, or user permanent memory problem.
Terminal can only process received graphics
commands.
VT125 BM Error Video bit map memory has one or more bad pixels.
VT125 VG Error Vector generator could not draw sample shape.
Graphics probably does not work, but terminal may
communicate normally.
VT125 IC Error Internal communications failed. VT125 cannot
communicate with VT100. Terminal can only
process received graphics.
VT125 SC Error Auxiliary port failed data loopback test. Terminal
cannot send data to printer.
VT125 EC Error Computer port failed data loopback test. Terminal
can only operate as text terminal in LOCAL.
As this is a comms failure, I would check out the 24-pin and 16-pin
cables that run from the graphics processor to the other boards. I think
there are tight twists in both cables that may have cracked over time.
