no reset instructions in the manual

Murat
the manual does mention that given the symptoms the Robot is exhibiting it could
either be the Adaptor or the Robot is receiving conflicting signals


you think this might be a defective Eprom?
if so..im toast

i did check to see if all of the Eproms were correctly in place

the Robot has a door making it easy to get to the Eproms
upgrades to the Robot were planned but never released

Robot Eprom layout:

if you look at Eprom 1(bottom left) i am missing the sticker on the Eprom
notice how it seems to be important that the label is in place because they
included another small circualr sticker to keep it that way.only on Eprom one do
 you see this small circular sticker

on my Robot now Eprom 1 is missing the main sticker and the small circular one
holding it in place
 the sticker is missing and i can see something like a clear see though window
in the Eprom

you dont thing that this missing sticker could possibly mean anything like a
connection is not being made or something??


naah  that's too unlikely
