I know I had the same problem in one of my A4000´s, also didn´t accept any Fast Memory. Wanted to throw it away until one of our clubmembers decided to take a look and found some pieces of metal in the memory socket. When it was removed then everything worked again.  :lol:

Most 128 Mb modules are double sided ones and you probably can not find both of them on the BlizzPPC because one of them would touch the PPC board which may not be so healthy ... the one that used to work on your card is a 64 Mb double sided module placed in the memory holder with the angle. There is no way to fit that memory module in the other memory holder, it just won´t fit ...

So you did flash your PPC card ??? Cool !! Better that than having to replace parts on the card itself, and also a lot cheaper than having the card repaired at a repairshop  :lol:

Still don´t know how you fixed it. Can you tell about it please ??? Have got a PPC 233/060 here too and I was also thinking about upgrading it with 256 Mb instead of 64 Mb and I would like to have some info first before I start losing more hair when I get the same problems that you had  :lol:
