I am not sure where the hell you got directions like that for cleaning the board, but never do that again please.

Anyway, make sure your ROMS are set correctly. The sockets are longer than the chips. You want to configure for 128k & 256k most likely. That sets the chips in a way that they are closer to the RAM in the socket.

However, the clicking may be an analog issue.
It look like the sockets and the chips have the same number of pins, 16 per side. Also I heard that the clicking can be a problem with the PSU turning on and off rapidly. If that is the case, what should I do?

Also, C33 has beige stuff around it, how should I clean that? Or should I get the entire board recapped?
