it doesnt look like you tried googling? https://www.memorytesters.com/sim2/sim2com.htm
yes it does look broken at this moment, did seller post picture of device running ram test? most likely not

I tried searching on google but apparently I'm not good at it. Thank you for the link.

Yes, the seller didn't post any pictures, I only had assurances that the equipment works and is functional.

>assurances

What else does he sell? might be classic case of "found this garbage in abandoned storage room, lets throw it on ebay/allegro as working tested".
Try manufacturers service software, maybe it can restore firmware.
I would return it if you paid real money.

At least try the software, might be something stupid like expired battery backed config. How much was it? Those usually go for hundreds of dollars in working order despite being obsolete for 25 years.

I got it for 650$ + SD Ram adapter.

Oh yeah thats fully tested and working price for sure, and even then I would be wondering if I really need this versus old computer booking into memtest.

But memtest is soooooo slooooooooow and i got like 15kg of RAMs to check.

Its slow because its thorough, you cant compare it to Basic (actual name) SimCheck scan.
You dont have to wait for all memtest tests to finish. SimCheck has comprehensive list of tests from Basic few seconds one to very advanced multi hour modes, not to mention continuous loop.
