A2100 Realtime fail

[slowlearner]

This control is only a year old give or take a month or two. Diagnostics claims the realtime processor has failed on startup but when you look at the leds on the BBB
there are not any red leds to indicate failure. Has anyone heard of this one?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Have you checked the batteries on your WS and RT boards? I have seen a large number of A2100 controls from the mid to late 90's with dead batteries in the last year, so it is worth looking at on your machine.

If you decide to test the batteries, do not remove the batteries while checking them. If the batteries are still good and you remove them from the board, this will cause the BIOS to reset and you will have multiple issues to fix.

How is this possible?
