The short story is that I don't know... I will have to look over all of this but even then that's super weird. I assume you've tried reseating the cable a bunch of times.
One thi…

Continuation:
So I took apart the Kanga and found a small PRAM battery leaking (see pic).
But where is the big damage? You can see both sides of the logic board in high resolution…

Yes I've already cleaned boards with leaking batteries (PowerBook and Amiga), but their damage was visible when I opened the case.
This Kanga is really new to me, shipped from NY.…

You should not have a PRAM battery in the machine if it is not working properly (I forgot what this thread was about). Yes your batteries are in surprisingly bad shape lol. Well …

Continuation of the story...
As I have to do more testing with the "sleeping beauty" (the Kanga), I created two NEW working backup battery packs mixing the old PowerBook 3400 &…
