Check to make sure the Bose unit has the appropriate power voltage selected. Sounds like it probably does but always good to check. Keep us posted and my fingers are crossed for yo…

The part number shows its a G3 ROM? I wonder if someone thought it was or is needed for the upgrade card? I never heard of that if so. And like I said, the TAM never shipped with i…

Well... English is not English everywhere. I'm sure if the states did not revolt in 1776, The Queen would have demanded the USA to separate from the UK if it remained since we bas…

It's not a rom simm , it should be cache card, which with a G3 upgrade should be removed. Maybe that's why it was put away and didn't work in the first place. Rom simm and cache …

It arrived, but has a hinge problem: the two halves of the left hinge do not meet, and the left display cable has worked up into the bezel, and is pushing the bezel away from the s…

It is, most devices these days are RISC. They're just not POWER.

I was having the same problem as you... see my thread below.  I had to wash the board 5 different times to get it to work.  I also discovered pin 50 bent, touching pin 49 on the c…

Also, just as a minor point on the chemistry, if vinegar neutralizes it, then its an alkaline substances eating the board, not an acid, you can't neutralize an acid with an acid (a…
