Well, I finally had the time and energy to remove the logic board to get a good look. All the original solder was still shiny and neat. But one thing cought my eye...

The Rom HI chip was slightly ajar from its socket. I take a look and realize I wasn't the first person in here.

Apparently, someone had ATTEMPTED to repair this mac. (My uncle most likely, he was the original owner) I can assure you my friends that I did not cause this damage.

The Rom Hi chip is missing the two pins closest to the 68k processor. I have NO idea how this didn't report a ROM error.

I really can't see how I am going to find another ROM Hi chip.

I can give you this pic, but I couldn't get one good enough to show the missing pins.



I am quite sad now... :'(

I want the remainder of this unit to be as useful as possible. If anyone on this forum needs parts from it, please email or PM me. (andykrew@mac.com)
