David,
If you have the control Manual it discusses the A2100 Analog PCA (Processor Control Assembly) which is the large Aluminum Box.
Two Boards; the WSCPU (Far Left by Hard Drive) and the RTCPU (Far Right) in the control have CMOS BIOS Parameters stored on Volatile SRAM;
which requires a battery voltage higher than 3.1 VDC to refresh and retain the BIOS settings in memory went not under power.
BIOS is the “Basic Input – Output Instruction” set; making the board SMART enough to talk to other pieces of computer hardware; this is specific for each board part number.
With power off, I would remove the RTCPU board, lay it on a bench and measure the battery voltage with a DMM by touching the battery top with red lead and the metal board case with the black lead.
If under 3.1 VDC I would say the BIOS has been corrupted and needs to be reloaded. Contact Lissa Lue with the 3-424-xxxxAyy board part # or Fives-Hebron 1-800--934-0735 or 1-859-534-4750 (Technical Support)
