Hi Mike,

Thanks for your reply and Happy New Year! This one has the memory piggyback board. I pushed in only the ram sitting on the piggyback board. I probably will have to remove it in order to reach the memory ic's that are underneath. I'm wondering if I should try to run the Debug Rom chip that I have like Ryan suggested?. Maybe that will give some conclusion..?

But there is no sound at the outputs, the control panel is completely unresponsive when any buttons are pushed and it will start to reboot randomly.
