I have read and read again and followed all steps I have found but I am at a standstill for this Memory Cracked Error.
New machine. Unknown history. Appears to be very clean and in great condition.
Fired up. Got Backup Battery Test (low)
Got Backup Memory Test (cracked)
Pulled Card cage, replaced 1 battery on CPU. 1 Battery on GMEM board and 1 battery on the little board on the card cage.
Pulled reels. Replaced the two batteries behind the reels.
Opened Door I/O, replaced battery there.
Total of 6 batteries. I have heard people replacing 7.
Pulled card cage out 1", turned key to audit, restarted, same thing.
Set CLEAR switch on GMEM board with key in AUDIT. Cleared the ram.
Powered down the machine.
Brought it back up.
Still have the Battery low and the Cracked error.
LEft the machine on overnight
Same thing.
Came in, Ram cleared again. The Battery low error is gone but the memory cracked error is still there.
Noticed that the CLEAR switch needs to be set to CLEAR for the battery low warning to go away.
Re-seated the IDE cable.
Performed another ram clear.
Tried a different GMEM with different software.
Still same thing. "CRACKED" is all I have now.
Anyone? Please help. I am scratching my head on this one.
