Since I am no longer a dealer and don't even know if North Star is still in business. I'm stuck. I repair 286 and and 386 machines all day long, but the North Star has me baffled. The cursor never comes on. The floppy drive is never checked and no sign on prompt. If it were a pc I would change the mother board, replace the disk controller, or replace the hard drive. None of these solutions seem possible. I don't know where to get the mother board. Even if I did I could buy 4.66 80286 machines for the price I paid for the Dimension. THe new machines would be faster and have 4 times the memory and 10 times the speed. Any suggestions? Anyone want used Dimension work stations, monitors, or keyboards?

The symptoms you describe sound like a processor failure, or possibly a memory failure. If the unit has a Z-80 processor and it's socketed, try replacing that chip (even if it's a very fast Z-80, it shouldn't cost you more than $5). If that doesn't help, and if the memory chips are socketed, try replacing them. One other thing (which you should probably check before anything else) is the power supply; verify that you're getting outputs of +5,+12 and -12 volts from it. Msg 42479 is 07 line(s) on 09/13/89 from DONNIE STUHLMAN to ERIC BOHLMAN re: N* HELP THe North Star Dimension is a multi-user multi-processor computer that uses an operating system that looks like MS-DOS 2.11 to the user. Actually the operating system is three times the size of MS-DOS. I will try to check the memory chips and the voltages. The power supply will not be easy to replace. I of course did try to push down the socketed chips. Since both work stations are down I suspect the problem is in the file server.
