Hi and happy new year /o/
So I had this LC III motherboard sitting alone for a while, death chime, original caps. But beside that seems in great condition.
I did a recap and indeed after cleaning, the motherboard looks fine, almost like new.
Great! Recapping done nicely, no surprises, except... it's still doing the death chime. Ugh. And I can't get any video, so no error code to read, I've litteraly no idea what's going on here.
Here is few things I should check though:
Yet another interesting case to solve :scrambled:

Here is few things I should check though:
- This reversed capacitor thing on the LCIII:
- Check rails voltage
- Video circuit maybe damaged, must check if there is some signals down here
- Death chime happens just after boot chime, so must fail on an early check
- ROM: checked and ok. Swapped with known-good ones, same result.
