Macintosh LC475 death chime when RAM installed

[Jon183]

Hi everyone, I have a recapped and ultrasonic cleaned LC475 that will work just fine with no RAM stick installed, but when one is, it'll do the death chime.

Info: Board was not tested before recap, has no PRAM battery (a 10-pack is on the way though), I have been using the turn on, quickly turn off and back on again method to get it working with no battery.

What sticks of RAM have you tried, is there cap leakage around the RAM socket itself?

There was no sign capacitors were even leaking when I first looked at it, its been ultrasonic cleaned as it had lots of dust. I have tried tons of sticks, have a rather big pile of 72-pin modules, even a tested working apple branded 8MB resulted in a death chime.

Update: Reflowed all RAM slot joints using new solder and flux, still same result.
