I'd yank that silly IBM ATOnce clone thing but quick. Probably the point of contention in the system too. Yes, yank the 68000 off of that and reinstall directly into the CPU socket. Be careful to observe correct notch orientation.

Best way to clean IC pins is to simply remove and re-insert them. The friction of the sockets is usually enough to "clean" 'em. If they're truly oxidized, get yourself some very light grit sandpaper or a fiberglass brush to clean 'em up.

I'd be willing to be though most all of your problems will be solved once you get that AtOnce board out. All the chips, but especially the Kickstart, CPU and Agnus chips all deserve to be re-seated.

What is it actually good for, anyway?  As far as I can tell it's hardware emulation of the IBM PC, but I'm not sure why that would be important.

LOL! Amen brother.

I get most all my electronics stuff from Mouser or Digikey.

I wouldn't do anything too permanent fastening the case and motherboard together. I'd be more concerned about why a little bit of stress is causing Denise to act wonky. Check for cold solder joints near her socket I guess. The mobo should be able to handle a little bit of warpage without adverse effects. Jeez... you should see what an A2000 mobo looks like while secured to the case! lol
