Symptom: Batcher 'frozen' on opening screen.
Time-of-day clock in the
upper right-hand corner of the screen is stopped (not updating at all).
This is caused by a loss of the 'real-time-clock' which comes from the Flowcon board, but
is probably not being seen in the computer. It runs on IRQ7.
Probable Cause (in most
likely order)
 | Flowcon board is out of its
slot from shipping or being dropped. |
| New computer: Interrupt
conflict between the Flowcon board and other computer hardware, usually happens
after moving the board into a 'new' computer. |
| Bad Flowcon board.
|
Diagnostic:
| Run the
real-time clock test in the Integrated Diagnostic utility. |
Fix:
| Reseat the
Flowcon board in its slot. |
| Resolve the
interrupt conflict by removing or reassigning the conflicting hardware. {LINK --
ISA-ISSUES, IRQ7 lost or jumper missing} |
| Modify the
Flowcon board to use different interrupts (undesirable). |
| Replace the
Flowcon board (very unlikely). |
