see what you mean - the ram holders have signs of melting as well.........but this board is small and to hold the board in your hand you would not see it.

the pictures show every detail. Its was the pictures that I saw the short on the cpu from.

jesus.......if this was cooked like the color classic then there might be SM components missing on the back.

have already gone over the whole board with the magnifying glass and found nothing.

I did find that I put C4 in backwards......was sure that was it..........put in a new 47uf ....correctly........but still no joy.

-

this board looks brand new. Its in better condition than mine.........

ahhhhhh .........this is the slow bit..........look,look,look
