Where did my boards go? (???!!)

hmmmm, well, i wish you good luck! no signs of capacitor leakage anywhere on the board? afair, tha A4kT's used coin type batteries, but as yours is an early one, does it have the donkey kong exploding barrel battery?

just trying to think of possible problems from the symptoms! :-)

It has a hand written sticker that says...

Ser. No. 2

The board is yellow and has a socketed buster 9. Still came with a lithium button cell soldered on. I can't see any leaking on any of the caps on the motherboard or other boards and I know what to look for. They could certainly still be a problem though. I tried to take pictures but they came out crappy. The closeups were all fuzzy, most of the farther shots had glare and I couldn't figure out how to turn off the date in the lower right hand corner. It's a borrowed digital camera.

Good suggestion. I'll try bending in and cleaning my Buster socket and carefully bending out the buster chip pins slightly. This doesn't help AMIGAZ though.

I've both cold and warm rebooted my system several times now and it seems to be working (fingers crossed)

But moving my zorro cards around and changing scsi adapter on my cd-rom seem to have done the trick, don't ask me how it solved the problem  :lol:

@AMIGAZ

Thanks for the update. It gives me hope. I'll try changing a few things as well.
