[Techtoolslist] Fluke 9010a no display

   Yes, I helped Robi on this repair, and we were totally stumped!  Took
   all Summer to figure this out: Having two faults (the faulty ROM
   chip-select PROM and bad RAM) made the troubleshooting difficult.
   First clue was using the second 9010a/z80 probe to detect that the ROM
   images were duplicated in two address ranges (due to the faulty
   chip-select PROM).  When this was fixed, we expected to at least be
   able to get the "OK" display to show up when manually disabling the HW
   watchdog reset, but no go.  We knew the display module itself was good,
   since we could use it in the second 9010a, and all the diagnostic
   features worked (triggered via writes to the memory-mapped test
   registers).  We did try the 9010a RAM test, including the "long" test,
   but it didn't detect any problems.
   Anyways, one more 9010a back from the dead!  (well, we have yet to try
   it with a pod, but fingers crossed)
   grant..

I had one do the same thing
Power supply cables were loose
Unplug and plug back in cables
You will find the bad one
