heh Pentad, too funny.
tlgrooms ~ get a PLCC extractor for the deep socketed chips or else risk damage to sockets if attempting to remove with a screwdriver. Same with the DIP chips, use a DIP extractor.
My A3000T has similar issues. Although it's been a while since I've attempted to resurrect the unit. Missplaced the notes I've made of it's startup symptoms. I keep forgetting about the lock key hotwiring... Now I want to skip work and tinker with the beast.
If I also recall, Anthony Hoffman did some work on an A4000D for me several years ago. Exellent resource.
We should get a count of how many nonworking A3000Towers are out there...
