No response to DC or AC voltage inputs. AC function displays OVerLoad
on some intermediate ranges, 0v on high and low ranges (plus a few
random LSDs). DC shows zero (plus a few random LSDs).
Get a good display and all button functions. Self-diag routine 604
fails. This is defined as "A/D slope convergence failed".
All supplies (+/- 18v, +5v, reference voltages: +/-10, +5, +7) are
within tolerances.
I presume the ADC is whacked. How does one go about troubleshooting
the analog section? Put in a test voltage of, say, 7.5 v and see
where it goes?
Lots of good schematics in the service manual, so I'm set for documentation.
Suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
Dave
