Your thread and pics are going to be super handy today. My A500 Plus died for me yesterday and I think this is why (See pic).

I had removed the battery years ago after it had leaked. Up until yesterday it was working fine with an Indivision ECS and a Kickstart switch. But after I added 1MB extra ram (trapdoor) it started crashing and guru'ing and got worse and worse within 1 hour to the point where it no longer boots.

I'm suspecting that adding the RAM was enough to finish off the damaged traces/tracks as even after removing the expansion etc it remained the same. (The 1MB expansion is fine & fully tested with another Plus)

Your pics and this thread will be super helpful for sure :thumbsup:
