Newbie with EBD needs help

The self test positions 16 - 21 should all be set to "3". You get the
voice and proper sounds that way instead of chime type sounds.

Flickering displays are either connector related or if all displays
flicker then there's something wrong on the cpu (i had a similar prob
when i accidentally replaced a capacitor with the wrong value or it can
be a bad timer chip long list and i'm not familiar with ebd). As for
the backbox get someone to hold the backglass just in case and drill
the lock with a no5 drill bit (5mm) until it goes though the lock
entirely you should be able to take out the bg after that.
