I'll take it you haven't seen the schematic for this board? The CMOS 
logic types are clearly marked on the diagram. If you don't have it 
we can easily point you in the right direction of a copy. Some of the 
problems you mention are in the area of the IC19 (4051), but some are 
mearly switch functions and under control of the latches IC28/9 and 
IC34/5 (4042). Therefore I would suggest that you check the 
continutity of the tracks running from the mask rom (8048) P20-P27 
and the memory address bus DO0-DO7. Pay particular attention to port 
line P25 as it runs directly under were the battery has exploded. I 
find the best way to perform continutity tests is to print out the 
diagram and mark off the areas of track checked with a highlighter 
marker. If you want any comparative voltage / scoep waveform reading 
let us know.

Let us know how you get on and if you still can't get anywhere then 
see post 1934.

Cheers,
Andy
