Albert,
The reseating resolved it not getting past the power on test. I've got NVRAM replacements on the way from the UK courtesy of another member of the group who got the last two that RS had in stock.
I've not yet been able to find an 11801 user manual or service manual. There are a couple of the latter on eBay, but I've still not verified they are for the 11801. There are no copies of either on the internet. I spent several hours running into incorrectly labeled copies of the 11801C manual. It's a good bit different from the 11801.
Because of the E5622 error I can't exit the extended diagnostics.
Someone else reported an on time of 30,000 hours. It may well be that they were being used to monitor data links with the screen brightness turned down and infinite persistence. i can easily see someone doing that at the head end of a subsea cable or satellite link.

Hi Reg,
The first thing I look at is the total Ontime
and power-ups count. I have seen11801x/CSA803xx with useful
display but? Ontime of over 140 khrs. That must be due to
some out-of-range condition; the Ontime also doesn't get
updated any more.
I'm curious to hear
what your 11801 reports.
I also have a
CSA803 with a very crisp display, Ontime just a few hundred
hours and perfectly clean inside.
As to the
battery Error, this error can show up intermittent. So
it's not really sure that reseating some components
solved your problem.
Albert
