A failing fan has resulted in the computer halting in the BIOS tests during re-start. A replacement fan is on order and will be installed early next week. The digipeater continues to function, so users may access KE6AFE-10 or KC6SSM-10 via KBLKM (W6SCF-7)
The computer threw up a dialog box after booting, expecting a response before remote administration launched. It required plugging in a local monitor and keyboard to hit "return" to continue. Honestly; I am disappointed.
W6SCF-10 has been unavailable since late afternoon April 19. KBLKM, W6SCF-7, continues to digipeat so KC6SSM-10, K2RDX-10 and KE6AFE-10 may be accessed from our covered area.
The computer was accessed remotely and had Windows updates pending. The update process was started manually but the computer did not return to normal operation. After waiting an hour the computer was remotely re-started and again failed to return to normal operation. A site visit is scheduled for later today.
