Ditto on the soldering solution...I purchased an A&E RAMWorks II card on eBay that went thru the seller's "tech" guy who supposedly tested the equipment he sold....when I tested it the test program told me I had a bad RAM chip; swapping the "bad" chip for a good one resulted in the same result. So I looked closely at the PC board and found much to my amazement that the IC socket of the "bad" chip actually had one of its pins folded under itself and NOT thru the PC board hole! That board had obviously NEVER been totally functional and who knows how many folks had owned it before it got to me.....I replaced the socket, popped the chip back in and voila totally functional!
Just goes to prove anything is possible...you may want to re-do every one of the solder connections on the board.
