OK so I thought I was making good progress resurrecting a paragon, but now I thing it may be "brain dead" . It worked the last time I had it on the bench, but now when that I have time to finish gett

Yes I did, that did nothing. I probed a bit with an "old school" logic probe and there are some signals going on so I do not thing it is the CPU itself. When I power it up, sometime I hear several re

Sounds like maybe you got a connector slipped one pin over, or on the wrong socket. Check all those cable around the area you were working on and then expand to other boards. Its quite easy to miss a

I will check again, but I did do a quick check already. There probably is no defence that should what data is sent where so I can do a check with a logic analyzer? Sent from my Galaxy S6. ___________

If it's been sitting around for a while I'd suspect an oxidized connector or an electrolytic that needs to be re-formed. You might just power it on and let it "bake" for a day or so to see if that do

Well I am still stuck here. I have double checked all the connections that I could have possibly touched, and everything is correct. At this point upon power up I do get a quiet hiss out of the speak

Louis, from your description of the problem, I don't think this is the issue but I send this link to you for reference. http://tentecwiki.org/doku.php?id=585disp Hope you find the culprit. The Parago

On rigs that suddenly die on the bench, check for things like a scrap of wire shorting out something under the chassis. Also, check for good contact on board interconnections by removing power and on

OK so after work today I started to probe around on the logic board with an oscilloscope and every signal looks OK.. OK in that it looks like 5V logic data. Looking at the ICs and where the signal go

Fresh battery is in place. I really thing it is either a dead CPU or the EEPROM got scrambled. I found a source for a low cost CPU so I ordered it. When looking at the signals with the O'scope, the I

FYI. The last Paragon I worked on had about the same issues. I traced the problem to two common CD4000 series ICs in the rear left corner of the mother board. Its been so long that I dont remember th

Thanks Mike. I scoped out those two ICs (U10 and U111), and they appear to be functioning fine, at least the signals coming out of them look like TTL logic. The last Paragon I worked on had about the
