How good are your electronic skills? :-)

Check on pin 3 of the keyboard connector (KBreset line) which should go low when the reset combination is pressed.
If not, there is possibly a keyboard problem.
Also, if you short this line to ground, it should definately cause a system reset.

The KBreset line goes into U5 (Gary) on pin 5 I think.  Check the continuity of the circuit between U5 and the keyboard connector.

When U5 sees a reset state on the KBreset line, it initiates a system reset condition.


I think that's correct??  Though my memory may be permanently damaged after too many beers last night :-P
