Hi all, FYI I have encountered a problem with several Alpha machines where the power turns on but they do not function. Three Alpha machines, DEC3000 model 700, Alpha XL 266, and PC164UX, are now working after replacing their RTC chips.
OKay ! Thank you. This is a glimmer of hope. I will look closely into the machine and find the Dallas? RTC chip.
