It does. With the manual i decode the LED's. They say:
Memory error! Ughf, after a long period not running the
machine a matter of time i think. So i go on and cleaned the
memory-sticks and the memory-banks 0-3. But that wasn't very
helpful. Changing the sticks to serveral banks (i did it
more than an half hour) gave me also no result. Once there
was another message from the LED's - HPMC due to memory
error! Not very helpful for me.

What kind of sticks are normal or the best one? Is there a
prefered memory-bank to use? The memory in this machine was 
attached to bank 3+2 with 72-Pin NEC and Noname chips. But
both "Made in Puerto Rico" ;). I never (really) changed the
memory since the time i got the machine.

Greets,
