Troubleshooting

Picked up this old 486 board from the parts room at Computer Reset in Dallas. I’ve got a VLB video card I would love to be able to use with it.

Unfortunately, this board has a short or some internal damage. It often fails POST with errors related to memory. However, if I flex the board or push on it just right, sometimes it will boot.

I’ve got another board, nearly identical to this one, with the same problem.

I think this one is beyond my current abilities to troubleshoot and repair.
