OK they look good.  The VB = +3.6V (approx) when powered down,  it is the 
backup voltage for the RAM.


It would appear that all the voltages are correct.    The next step would be to 
start tracing out the address, data and control lines to make sure the buffers 
etc are all working when the unit is powered on.  Hope to find a buffer that 
does not work or other failed chip or even a failed joint.  It can be done with 
a MM but not easy.


A cold boot might be worth trying if you have not already done so.

I got VDD +5VDC, VEE -5VDC, and VB of +5VDC. No 3.6VDC on VB.

It does sound like there might of been some static damage on the board.  The 
ROM shares lines with the RAM wonder if a RAM has fried?  Or a buffer?


On the M100 the Vdd, Vee, Vb and GND lines are marked so it is quite easy to 
check the +5, -5V & +3.6V are on the board OK.
