No clue? ?my only suggestion would be to remove the hardware down to the CPU , Memory card and CRT display board and see if anything changes.

The signaling , HP-IB and SA boards are always optional and it may be worthwhile to disconnect those first.

I suspect you may have a processor board issue but without a known good unit to test it in it could be anything ,? If you still have the other memory card may be interesting to try that even if it doesn't have all the memory installed.
