its difficult to say!

Have you already tryed to clean the edge connector and/or try to fit the BPPC NOT fully inserted? (1-2 mm out)

EDIT- ah . . which PSU are you using? and would be better to test it on another A1200. (before sending it for repairs)

it "seems" a lack of power on the +5volt rail. (worse with the 64MB module)

The last test you can do, is to feed the +5 volt and GND directly from the PSU to the CPU fan socket.

But honestly, i prefer that someone else (who has already done it) could confirm this "dirty hack" :-)

ah yes for sure!

That dirty (yes because it is) hack, will generate a ground loop at least (if not worse without an appropriate circuit).

In most of the cases, it will work but . .
