Trying to rescue a dead mobo (A4000) here.
Latch U177 and battery have been removed(have leaked).
Computer did nothing(only powerlight) with nothing attached.
All I can find for replacement is a 74HCT174 dip package.
Will this do for replacement?
Original it was a 74HCT172D difference?
Should the system show anything with no latch soldered?
PSU is allright and so is processor,buster,and roms checked them in other mobo.
No chips are getting warm and did the rtc check to find broken tracks...nothing.
Hoping it is the latch I mentioned.
