Now I've installed ROMs version 00.02, and the 16500A has developed a

all fail. I thought it was a software problem but putting the old 00.00
ROMs back in the problem is still there. I'm hoping it's just a bent pin
on the backplane connector or something but it's very annoying to get this
far and have a new fault to deal with, apparently unrelated to the RAM.
Has anyone got experience of what's likely to cause these three self-test
failures?

Don't all of those things connect through the same ribbon cable
between the front panel and the CPU board? Are you sure that cable
was reconnected correctly at both ends when you reinstalled the CPU
board? Or does that cable connect between the front panel and the
backplane board? It's been a while since I opened up a 16500.
