Hi all,

This evening, one of my 164LX machine (11 years old, purchased
from DCG computer, Inc.) start emitting 6 beeps when booting...

Sigh...

According to its User's Manual, the meaning of the beep code
is "Checksum error detected when image was read back from memory."

Are there any ways to revive it???

Yours,
Kazuyoshi

Assuming you have not tried this, and have the same type of mem
in each slot,
You might try removing and reseating memory. It could be the
pins on the mem sticks are oxidiced and need a little cleaning.
This simple trick  might work.
YMMV, hope this helps

As you are doing that, you might consider doing a good cleaning of the slots and
all the chips on the board. A nice soft house-painters brush and a can
compressed air are my tools for that. It's not commonly known that dust can
conduct current when the conditions are right and there is enough of it.
I have seen cases where dust has changed the resistance on address pins enough
to cause crashes and other mis-behavior. A good cleaning and the system went on
for years...
