do you have any parts boards laying around?

maybe battery exposed ones?

if so as a shot gun type fix, you could remove 4 ram chips from any of the various macs, even the 4 ram chip that come on the LC. Or any 4 of the 8 that are on many of the other various 68k boards.

then remove the 4 on your board...(set em aside) clean up the pads nice and good with flux and wick. and flow the 4 replacements down.

I used to have parts LC's but I eventually fixed them all. Weird thing yesterday was that, I cleaned the board again and I got the three bars instead. Today I continue to get the vertical stripes. I'm assuming it has to be the memory now and I'll have to pick some up to try. Wish you could just remove it and boot off of the sims.
