Turn it on and type ‘beep’. If it does not beep that is a sign it is not booting up.
Jeff Birt From: M100 <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Charles Hudson Sent: Sunday, May 2, 2021 8:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [M100] M100: Bricked again My Model 100, which has been the subject of several posts in the past and which has received several repairs is now inoperative once again. I was experimenting with printout: When I obtained the M100 a few years ago it came with a dot matrix 105 printer. There are no more ribbon carts for this printer but I revived the ribbon with some WD-40 and was able to demonstrate printability through the cable from the built-in software. Today I was trying to see if I could print to a Canon BJ-80 ink-jet I recently revived. (I had already determined, with a Model 102, that the Canon responded to its PRINT command, although there was incomplete printout.) I had just loaded the Scripsit 100 software onto the M-100 and created a test document to print onto the Canon. I moved the M100 from its PSU and cassette connections to the BJ-80 but when I hit the power switch on the M100 I got nothing. I have tried reset, CTL-SHIFT-BREAK, batteries out, memory backup off, everything I can think of, to no effect. If there is another thing to try, please advise; otherwise I have bricked it (again) and will have to find a repair. Thanks, -CH-
