Rumor has it that Chris M may have mentioned these words:
actually rows and columns of blocks of ascii chars,
some blinking. To which Im greeted upon switching on a
Tandy 2000. Typically what does this indicate?
Darned near anything, but the first things I'd do is:
1) crack the case and make sure there's no "foreign objects" in there that
shouldn't be.
2) Whilst I'm in there, I'd pull and reseat any chips (RAM, ROM, CPU,
etc.) that are in sockets, and/or cards (Video, interface, etc.) in slots.
You could also remove any cards unnecessary to the basic function of the
machine during testing.
3) Also pull and reseat any cables (floppy, etc.) that exist.
Hope this helps,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
