  Seasons Greetings All,

  This morning the wife boots my old 770z to get the two error codes in the
  following order: 173, 163.

  According to the hardware maintenance manual, this means 173 Configuration
  data was lost, 163, time and date were not set. Both solutions are to click
  ok, and set the date and mentions the system board.

  When I set the date/time, the boot process continues and I get the screen
  with the O or I
  OFF ON but can't select anything.

  Has my faithfull ole 770z bit the bullet?

  Thanks
  Dave
