Today my 54845A arrived. and after doing a quick inspection it was time to power on de dude.
first i saw a failing bios time. 01-01-1999 so i checked the cr2025 and it had to be replaced. after replacing came the big question what are the actual optimal bios settings for the scope? some are in the manual. If the second IDE doesn t detect any drive, it is time to default the bios settings!!
i booted the unit and i got the error. "
Fine Interpolator handshake failed: Service is required".
i did the self-test and many failed but also a lot passed. so from my opinion when the A13 has got the handshake ok we are back on track..
[editted] : later i found out that this input flat cable has nothing to do with the actual problem.
did somebody have this error yet?
and i still have issues after replacing the CR2025 in with the bios date...it is resetted to 1999 everytime. i have to look in the manual maybe the formal owner
played arround with the swithces and jumpers like he did with the wiring...
1 wire on the A13 was stuck behind the power supply and not connected. after gettting it in place it was too easy to hope the unit would work.. because it doesnt.
but looking at some youtube i discoverd i am missing an important flatcable W13 is totally gone.
. see picture
Who can help me out?? with selling some parts? please PM me i am missing 5 screw in the AQ board / the flat cable / 2 screws from other board
