it seems to be the first thing recommended to try on several posts.
=Just got an EII yesterday.
1st few times switched on, it got to boot screen, and no further.
So I opened up, reseated a few memory ICs around what I think is first segment (IC13 area?) - used some deoxit and replaced.
Then this time, it booted up and all seemed good. A Bank loaded. I then tried to load a bank from another floppy, started loading, then after a bit froze and blanks screen.
Since then I have removed and reseated just about every IC on the digital board.
Generally all I get is black blocks on the top row of the LCD, nothing on second. And usually ALL of the LEDs lit.
about 1/10 times I might get the boot screen, but no further (doesnt try to read discs).
So in theory most of the machine is OK since I got as far as loading 1 bank.
Wondering if this is a bad connection somewhere.
Maybe RAM/Scanner problem?
Can any suggest anything I can try?
Which Ram ICs should I check first,
Any tips appreciated.
I am very good with electronics, however, not too familiar with EIIs (but learning fast!)
BTW, oddly, my boot up screen is unique(?)
