[comp.sys.ibm.pc.rt] troubleshooting an RT

urban@ryn.esg.dec.com (Rob Urban) (09/22/89)

I trying to get an RT to do anything at all. I don't
see *anything* on the RGB monitor when I power it
up, even though the two-digit LED on the front panel
seems to be going through some sort of a self
test sequence.  Anybod know anthing?  If so, please

What flavor of RT?  What flavor RBG display?  Which OS are you trying
to run?  It really matters.  First thing you might try is running the
diagnostice diskettes that are in the trouble shooting manual.  Should
be a set of three red binders in slip covers.
