9 out of 10 times i hear that i think people are mistaking old flux freshly re-wetted by the heat of solderingSurface mount caps can leak from underneath and sometimes you wont see the goo until you remove them.
Well that's a good thing anyway, as they are over 20 years old!As I have no idea how to test the onboard capacitors I will have to replace them all. oof
The RAM must be installed in matched sets of four. If you're only installing a pair, that is a part of the problem. However, if the speaker is working, I think you would get an audible error code with a pair of SIMMs installed, if the motherboard is otherwise functional...Memory slot tabs are broken and RAM is held in place with little bit of dough (i think)I will try to remove ALL ram one pair to see if the helps and will add CPU directly to board...
