Is it Amiga 500 or Amiga 500 Plus? Can you post a photo of the motherboard?

Reseated all chips and cleaned pins, still green screen. May have to give up on this one.

Here are some pics of the board.

If anyone want to take a look i can post.

Cheers

Actually if you look at the pic, what is the resistor that attaches to the cia a chip, not seen this on any other board. Is it normal?

a green screen dont have to be memory,just memory related.

so that could be 74XXX logic on the data path,or even corrosion on the sockets...if your lucky.
