Description: Part 2 is me showing how to use an external display to access the BIOS and change settings. The unit PS2 ports are not working, but the USB ports are. So I used a USB Mouse and Keyboard along with an external display to access the Bios and run some of the WIN 2K Diagnostic Tools. Enjoy the links below.
- Part 3, we will open it up and change the BIOS battery and ensure the settings remain after the power is cycled.
- Part 4 and later, if I have them, will be a complete tear it down, we’ll look at the board Part Numbers and give it a good cleaning.
- Part 5 will be reassembly and power up.
- Part 6 will be to test it on a DP 8200 Reference DC & Current Calibrator that I fixed in another series of videos here: youtube.com/watch?v=hQq0_wkzGTo&list=PLVLXGvrQp0Ou1W3UZmFQkQG6BMcSyMYKt
