Amiga 2000 rev 6 - is this a short?

[hishamk]

I have a battery damaged rev 6 board. Cleaned it up a bit and fixed traces. Instead of a black screen now I get a white scren.

I’ve removed all the socketed chips and one thing I observed is that at any point I check for continuity between GND and VCC, I get a tone, indicating a short. The meter shows it at around 40 ohms resistance.

Is this really a short (resistance is not 0 ohm)?

The tone doesn't indicate a short, it indicates a resistance less than a certain value, often about 60 Ohms.  The exact value varies across different makes/models of meters.

A low DC resistance value between 5V and ground is normal, that's not the problem.

Thank you, that helps.

I forget to mentioned that I did replace the CPU and Kickstart sockets as well.

I'll be checking things out with DiagROM once I burn one.
