Hi,

Question for the group. Have a Symmetricon TS2100 which has faults.
It's been some time since it was last used, but powered it up
recently to find that it had lost it's setup data, display showed
rubbish and the year is stuck at 1997, though the time of day is
accurate once it has achieved 1pps lock. Apart from that, everything
else looks ok. The display can be reset with the "root util display
0x97900" command and the firmware was upgraded about a year ago to
the latest revision from the symmetricom site.

Just wondering if it could be a faulty eeprom, but not managed to
find a schematic or service data for it, so difficult to debug at
a hardware level. Any suggestions would be welcome...

Chris
