Troubleshooting Visual Workstations 320 and 540 - sorrow - 06-23-2021

Hi,

Please help with troubleshooting two SGI VWs - 320 and 540:

VW320 powers up when cable is connected to PSU. It does not react to power button. Its LED blinks indefinitely as if DIMM 2 was defective. But swapping and replacing memory does not help. Nothing on the screen. Reacts to reset button.

VT540 powers up when power button is pressed. Its LED blinks as follows:

- multiple blinks in one burst (under 1 second)
- 8 faster blinks
- multiple blinks in one burst (under 1 second)
- 16 slower blinks
- no more blinks, LED off

It does not react to power button but reset button restarts the cycle. Nothing on the screen.

Both workstations have connector to 1600SW LCD but since I do not have one working I only connect normal monitor to HD15.

Any ideas?
