Hello,
I have this 4/110, which was in working condition when I put it into
storage a couple of years ago. Now it doesn't boot anymore. A visual
inspection revealed a clock quartz with rotten legs. That's interesting,
because otherwise the machine is quite clean from the inside. I wonder
if there is a connection to the small rubber pillow the quartz rests on?
Anyways, I exchanged the quartz. I hope the new one will be working...
Sticking probes anywhere on the board is complicated when the board is
in its enclosure.
Machine is still not working. With diag mode enabled I get the following
output:

Type a key within 10 seconds to enter Extended Test System (e for echo mode).

The self test looks fine to me. But after that the machine doesn't seem
to do anything interesting anymore. Pressing e or any other key doesn't
seem to do anything. The LEDs show 10101000 (runs main memory test).
If I start the machine with diag mode disabled the LEDs settle on
00101000 (SCSI/DMA test) and then nothing happens.
Any hints on that, please?
