I've searched the forum, but have been unable to find anyone with a similar situation to mine. I've completed wiring a Power 832 system, purchased from ebay (mistake?). This is the 3rd similar system a friend and I have installed and set-up (other 2 were Power 632 - and had no issues). On initial power up, the keypad showed the time "12:00", but after ~ 20-30 seconds, the trouble light comes on, and the keypad emits a constant beeping, and is unresponsive to any keystrokes. If I try entering programming mode before the initial 20-30 seconds, I can only enter 5 keystrokes before it becomes unresponsive. For example, if I try to enter programming mode, I can press *8 555 then it goes dead. Pressing *2 on initial power up does nothing. I've tried a hardware reset (power down, short PGM1 and Zone1, power up - key sequence as per manual), but nothing happens. As per this forum, I've tried # 1 (holding them 3 seconds) thinking maybe the keypad was assigned as global or on partition 2, but again, this does not work. I can still only enter 5 keystrokes after doing the # 1 sequence. For background, after the initial wiring, when I turned it on, the siren also sounded when the trouble light was on. I started disconnecting components until I had only the keypad on. Still the same problem. I've also tried a second LCD-5501Z keypad, with the same result. I'm starting the think I've got a 'DOA' PC5010 board. Any help reviving it would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Dan.
