Got a free dead IBM 5160, and thanks to the great info over on minuszerodegrees.net, was able to track down and replace the bad tantalum capacitor that was shorting the -12V rail.
Now on to the next problem! I get an E0 301 error, and then press F1 to continue.
Looking at the troubleshooting documentation, the hex code listed *should* convert to a corresponding key that is stuck on the keyboard. However, unless I am doing it wrong, E0 hex converts to 224 decimal. It's an 83 key keyboard, so the number is too high to correspond to the key that should be showing as stuck.
Has anyone run up against this error before? I checked the keyboard cable and there aren't any shorts or breaks. This is a model M keyboard, #1390120. I don't have any compatible XT keyboards to swap and test, plus I really love this keyboard and would like to get it running again. I'll probably pull the whole thing apart and do the bolt mod and clean the mylar plus check for breaks and use some conductive paint if I need to repair any traces. Otherwise, does anyone have any suggestions on what to look for?
