Hey,

Great info. I've checked the capacitors and I cant see any sign of damage... neither are they expanded or showing signs of leakage (i guess that's a good sign at least!)

The 3.1 ROM actually has less pins than the socket, I'm not sure if this was the case for the 2.0 ROM, it was such a long time ago that I replaced it!

The A500 is truly a legend... you can tell the that the quality is different straight away compared to the A600. To start with my 600 won't close cause the floppy drive case clips are busted which I think is a typical issue.

I'm not sure where to go from here. Did you manage to check the google search I mentioned above, I'm curious to see if you think it would be a good idea. The only thing putting me off is that I might damage the board beyond repair.

Thanks again!
