Startalk A keeps restarting

[hanky55]

I have a Startalk A that keeps restarting itself. When I hook it up to a dumb terminal it will get to the point to where it says that it has passed motherboard power-on diagnostics and then it will restart. I have changed out the powersupply, harddrive, motherboard, dialogic card, and all of the cables. I have exhausted everything I know to do.

you have changed eveything on the voice mail even the harddrive and floppy controller card.

with working equipment or from parts laying around

I have changed them out with working parts out of another startalk that worked fine. I was trying to find out what was causing the problem. When I put the stuff back in the other one it works fine.

Try replacing the Lithium coin cell batery on the motherboard.

You didn't mention swapping the SCSI disk controller. That would be my guess if you've swapped everything else.
