Look at the schematic (and by the way, it's pretty much impossible to
achieve any successful repairs on the P6 without referring to the
schematics) -- ICs 31 & 30 are quad AND gates, basically serving to
buffer the eight data lines between the CPU chip and the rest of the
circuitry. Each of these lines is crucial to the correct performance
of the synth; if any one is missing or shorted, it can cause any
number of malfunctions of the front panel, memory, patch control voltages, etc.
Also note that each data line connects to numerous points on the
board; even if most of them are good, having only one missing can
still cause havoc.
The easiest way to observe all this is with a scope; referring to
the schematic, view each line starting at the CPU & continuing to the
IC30 (or 31) input, then from the IC30 or 31 output to the other
indicated points. Any bad or missing signal should be immediately obvious.
Note that the 4042 latch "IC34" on the schematics is labelled
incorrectly; it should be IC24.
The lengthier process is to use your meter in continuity mode (this,
of course, is done with the power off); check for proper continuity
for each data and address line (for example, pin 12 of the CPU should
connect to pin 4 of IC 31 and to pin 14 of the RAM chip; pin 6 of IC
31 should connect to IC26 pin 13, to connector CN06 pin 3, IC28 pin
4, etc etc etc).
It sometimes happens that IC31 (or one of the other CMOS chips in the
battery leak area) is indeed dead; but the most frequent cause of
nonfunction is a bad circuit trace.
