Perhaps, it's possible to minimize the repair work with an add-in board or CPU card.  Use Mouse from some serial board, memory from some CPU card or memory board and forget about the RTC.

And a blown trace could have happened because of battery acid leakage you're thinking JimS? Or sloppy techs dropping their screwdrivers on the mobo too I guess. lol

>Possible... but I was thinking more like the trace acted as a fuse and vaporized. I've seen it happen on some machines that came in for repair. That's why they added the fuse, both to the joystick ports and the external video port as well.

I think I vaporized something on my A500 long time ago by pluggin in a Mimetics genlock into the computer while Amiga was on.  The genlock died instantly but Amiga 500 still works great but it no longer works with A520.  The monochrome video out still works.  Any picture of where that fuse is on video port on A500?
