Plot Setup
Prof. Chronus is bouncing around the timeline and needs help to return. Machine is malfunctioning. Doctor When suggests reading the core dump (as in Part 1).
Props
Plot Point to Convey
The problem with the machine is that the "quantum chronomentometer" is all screwed up. Luckily Doctor When is an expert in such matters--he did his dissertation on the topic. Moreover, he's not surprised that Prof. Chronus screwed it up; she never was any good at memtometry, going all the way back to high school.
Short Description
Like in Part 1.
Detailed Description
Like in Part 1, some sort of data stream (error log?) seems appropriate here. Maybe the same category of puzzle as Core Dump I, but solves to a different phrase (see below).
On the other hand, it might be fun if the core dump this time is completely different, like pineapple cores or something else completely unexpected. This would both be funny--and point out that Prof. Chronus's technology reflects her personality and is thus different.
Puzzle Solution
... should be the phrase "quantum chronomentometer" or some similar pseudo-tech phrase including a subtle Mentos reference.

Other Notes
Although this puzzle should launch the process of time machine repair, it does not have to be another core dump puzzle. For example, the Doctor could open up the machine and find that the core dump was damaged. Luckily they can instead "reflange the flux capacitor's ergo tabs" (or some other BS).
