C2 certainly holds off the reset, not sure if it's just for pwdn, or also startup. If you can check voltages around the reset logic, might give you some more clues. Not much else I can think of that could be causing this, although I suppose if you have enough ripple on the +5v to the

What Poul-Henning is alluding to is an EPROM is a device where data bits are stored in little buckets of charge. How full a bucket is determines whether it is a "1" or a "0". How full the bucket appears to be depends on the 5V supply going to the chip. If the EPROM has leaked off much of the

Hi Pete, a few years ago, the UK was flooded with ex-MOD 7150+ meters. They had been stored in damp conditions and moisture was absorbed into one of the WIMA caps inside the Schaffner filter. The caps were only rated 250V and where I was living (half way between two nukes) the line voltage

Pete, Congrats! The 7081 is a good meter, although very slow when making 8.5 digit measurements. The key is only necessary for calibrating the instrument and can be bypassed with a clip lead to go into cal mode. I have the part number for the matching input connector somewhere but I'm

It's D110 on PCB6. After removing D110 the 7081 read about +2.5 microvolt with the input shorted with an external jumper. When I shorted the HI amp input with the MYTCHETT test point the 7081 read about -1.0 microvolt with low noise. I expect that the D101 (DPAD1) is the culprit.
