So I have a IIci here that has a particular issue. It has been recapped.
With a known good set of 4 simms (I've tried 1mb and 2mb groups of 4 in bank A) it boots with no chime to a grey screen, then restarts with a chime and death chimes (normal (not slow) speed)/black screen ~5 seconds later.
With no RAM it just boots to a solid grey screen.
I've tried looking at traces and have patched a few that tested bad but now I'm at a loss as to where to look at. Of note, bank B does have two snapped off RAM clips but this behavior was all with nothing in bank B. This IIci had a Tadiran battery from factory so no leakage.
Also, I haven't replaced the 74HC132 yet. Currently the IIci doesn't power on with the rear switch but powers on just fine with the KB.
