First time working on a Compact. Were is the location of the card? Inside under the cover? Another posted metioned shorting out the battery to reset the system.

I think this is one of those "you have nothing to lose" situations. pull all the cards out of the cics. take a screw driver and pull the cabnet apart. pull the main board out of the plastic and look for a (blue?) capacitor about the size of five quarters stacked. there should be two pins poking through the mainboard on the other side. short them for approx 5 seconds. Re-assemble. The programming memory is stored on the main board. By shorting the capacitor you are wiping out that memory. it was introduced when the pcmcia was pulled out under power. you will have to reprogram your system. If you had installed keycodes for upgrades those will be lost. It is also possable the system id will change meaning you would need to buy new codes. I don't think there is damage to either the pcmcia or the ksu just corrupt data. I have had this happen on 6/16's and repaired them this way.
best of luck...Merry Christmas

Could not find this BLUE Cap. Was he talking about shorting this with the power ON?

I should be able to access this COmpact using a 7310 correct?

I tried to shot the Cap. but I am still getting just flashing. Does it take a while for the program to reload?

I have opened the case and have only one LARGE board. Should there be a feature card connected to the main control unit board? There is a large interface on the top of the board.

The interface you refer to is probably the PCMCIA socket that the software plugs into. Without the software the system will flash forever. If the system continues to flash with the software in place, you probably have a corrupt software card, but it could also be a defective motherboard which is most likely unrepairable. Try another software card.

Well that seems to be the answe then. First time working on a Compact. It came across my desk and I was told it was a working system with no phones.
