[Techtoolslist] Help troubleshooting a 9010A

[Matt Rossiter]

Some of the Fluke 9010a's (mine for example) might be different than these
schematics, but you can look here on pdf page 137.
http://arcarc.xmission.com/Test%20Equipment/Fluke/9010A%20Base/9010A%20Service%20Manual.pdf

You should know how to convert Hex to Binary.
HEX-08 -> D7=0 D6=0 D5=0 D4=0 D3=1 D2=0 D1=0 D0=0

If it's reporting BTS 8 is failing - then check the 4116 ram chip
responsible for D3 - which is at locate U12.

If BTS 12 are failing, it means D3 and D2 are stuck.  So check U11 and U12
or their buffers.
