Re: Did I kill the girl?

[Edward J. Cetron]

 Try this link:   http://www.biwa.ne.jp/%7Eshamada/fullmac/repairEng.html   excellent 
debugging information....

Also if they are vertical stripes on the top which shift about midway down 
horizontally one stripe width, this is usually a weird short and/or noise on the logic 
board..... I just resuscitated mine with help from the Pickle, Gamba, and others on 
this list -- I scrubbed the whole board in Electronic Cleaner from Radio Schlock..... 
cleaned up all the accumulated dust etc... also did the contacts and sockets for RAM 
and ROM.... when done, it fired right up.....  still not sure why <grin> -- but have a 
go...
