- The first two codes ( 0002 and 0003 ) indicate a RAM failure in Bank B, the
- 01 indicates that bit 0 has a fault.
-
- The 000E indicates that the machine failed the Data Bus test. The 01 indicates
- the problem is in bit 0. This may indicate a bad SIMM or a data bus failure.
- Try swapping the SIMMs in bank B and see if the failure moves.
-
- For further diagnosis look into purchasing Peace of Mind, the complete
- Macintosh hardware diagnostic from Polybus ($99 US through December 31st)
- This application is easy to use and will give you clear and precise information
- on which SIMM is failing. It also tests all your other hardware. For more
- info and ordering call 800-695-4239

- code 0005 indicates a failure in the RAM external addressing test. The 02000200
- indicates which lines failed.
-
- code 000E indicates a data bus failure. The 00000200 indicates which line
- failed. In this case it is more likely a bad connection to the CPU. Inspect
- corresponding lines for breaks or shorts.
