I think I finally found the culprit to the flaky video. I checked the joints on J4 and two appeared to be suspect, so I re-soldered all the pins with fresh solder. The problem still occurred until I started pushing on the wires near the connector and saw it would make the screen come in and out, so I swapped the wire harness for the J4 connector and now I cannot make the video go out. The problem could have been a combination of flaky joints and pins on the wire harness. >As to the "no bong" problem, double-check the speaker, the capacitor in series with it (you'll have to do a little tracing), and the connections associated with them. I sort of checked along this path but didn't see anything significant. I'll have to check this out more thoroughly. > And as to your other question about the "micro screen" logic board, > doublecheck your ram.

The spare board I got came configured for more than 1MB of RAM, but I been using 256KB SIMMs. After putting in 4MB, the board operates normally, though I noticed the time for the floppy icon to appear takes a bit longer...is this normal?
