Apple III Troubleshooting and Repair

BTW, it does the exact same thing without the CPU installed, so I don't think that's even running. I think the screen is black if I remove the ROMs.
I'm having the exact same issue - did you ever resolve it?
 
Board flex and socket/seat issues is usually the culprit. These things run extremely tempermental even when they "work"...
 
After a few years, i have now a similiar issue.

As you can See on the Monitor the Video SRAM is Not reseted by CPU. I can use the Keyboard reset but it doesnt reset the Video RAM.

No Progress in it ?

Yeah the tube or something in my old CRT would make the screen go pink with white lines across the picture. A good slap would always reset it but the intervals got worse. Initially it was once every few days, then it got to needing a slap every 15 or so minutes.
