Hello all,
I picked up a Color classic in unworking state. It has not been battery bombed but the caps definately let go. I replaced all the caps but still no go when I hit the power button on the keyboard. Did some reading on here found that the egret (cuda?) chip frequently doesnt like getting electrolyte on it. so i removed it cleaned it and the pads and put it back. Still nothing.. Got the Bomarc schematics, found a few traces that were not working from that chip. Now continuity is good to every where it should be but still no power. Any ideas? These don't need a battery to start from what I've seen correct? How likely is it that the micro is just dead now?
