Memory slot tabs are broken and RAM is held in place with little bit of dough (i think)
I will try to remove ALL ram one pair to see if the helps and will add CPU directly to boar…
What is that crud by the RAM (dust or did somebody break off the retaining tabs and glue the RAM in)?

If you're looking to use a 500 series without a monitor, you may also want to consider the 580, which uses IDE drives instead of the less common, pricier SCSI. The monitor on the 5…
Well, it was like this since I got it. It might be that, I don't know.
I don't even know if it's worth saving, as the CD-ROM drive is dead and the floppy drive has a disk stuck in…
