[Techtoolslist] Fluke 9100A troubleshooting

I’m sure some of you noticed a large amount of Fluke equipment listed on eBay recently. I picked up the new in box 9100A, since I’ve been looking for one and I had an offer accepted at a price I thought wasn’t too out of line, considering that it came with a probe and clock module & was new in original packaging.

Unfortunately, the mainframe itself doesn’t seem to boot up. When it’s powered on, I get nothing at all on the VFD, no beeps, and the RUN UUT & DISK ACCESS annunciator LEDs are lit steady. I see in the technical manual that blinking UUT/DISK LEDs are a sign of display problems, but I don’t see anything indicating what solid LEDs would mean. I opened it up and found the SCSI card 

I was thinking that perhaps the HDD wasn’t working, or didn’t have the software installed on it, but I’d expect to see something on the display even if that was the case.

Does anyone have suggestions to diagnose further before I ask for a partial refund?

Thanks,
 Ian.
