Recently I purchased used A3000 motherboard to replace my MB that had leaked battery and was causing some problems. The replacement MB came w/o any chips, so I had to remove my and replace it. My MB revision was v9, but I received v7.3. There are few differences, like 2 extra ROM sockets and silkscreen is different. From what I have noticed on the web that v7 MB was using some kind of ROM board which was plugged in the other ROM IC slots. Right now the A3000 is not booting and my questions are:
1. Can I plug my 3.1 ROMs in original spots, same as v9 MB?
2. What are the default jumper settings for 25MHz MB, no accelerator.
3. Replacement MB does not have battery, will it work w/o it? My v9 was working...
I did some trouble shooting and found out that the Keyboard buffer is not being emptied, which suggests that the CPU is not working, or ROMs are not working, will this be safe to assume?
I do have A3640, but first I need to get the basic setup running
Any help is appreciated, Thank you
