Macintosh G3 Kanga glass break

Has anyone successfully repaired a G3 Kanga with the dreadful glass break crash sound?

I have one where it chimes before the glass break. If it's bad onboard ram or cache memory, is it going to be easy to replace?

Swapping SMD ICs? Easy is a relative term - depends on your skillset. For the casual hobbyist, no, it’s not easy :)

The first thing is to identify what’s causing the problem. I’m assuming you’ve removed expansion RAM. Are there any signs of corrosion on the board at all?
