I have an Apple //e (enhanced version) that when I start up dumps a bunch of hex codes on the screen. Upon doing a self-check I get the following line: RAM: F13 F12 F11 F10 F9 F8 F7 F6 Can anyone please tell me what this means? I noticed that the motherboard contains these numbers on its "grid." Are all the 7 memory chips that this points to really bad or is one causing the others to look bad? Or is there something else that is bad? Unfortunately, the RAM chips are soldered in so I'd like to find out what the error is before I go ahead and try one. Is there any book I can look up what the computer is trying to tell me? Thanks in advance! Chris Chung Facilities Support Specialist - Classrooms, CIS BITNET: chris@brownvm.bitnet INTERNET: chris@brownvm.brown.edu Acknowledge-To: <CHRIS@BROWNVM>

Or is there The report certainly says that all EIGHT RAM chips are bad. I wouldn't believe it. Before going any further, pull out the cards (one by one) to see if that makes a difference. I suspect you will get a difference when you pull the Extended 80 Column Card. Make sure that the power if off for at least a few seconds, and that you ground yourself to the power supply, before pulling ANY card from an Apple computer.
