Fixing Five Festive 5150 Boards over the Holidays (BOARD #3 Thread)

[VeryVon]

Ok, may have gotten lucky here. After removing the first two sockets (bit 0 & 1) from Bank 0 the short appears to be gone. Will re-assemble and test.

Good. I will get around to creating a listing for the board at [here]. Is approx. 30 ohms found on one of the removed IC sockets?

For any of the other motherboards, be sure to create a unique thread for each.

Ok great. I believe the culprit was a short in the area shown below, maybe too much solder or a particle / solder ball stuck in there. The 30 ohms was the measurement across RN4 as it was looping back across the short, which tipped me off to check across those two lines.

For any of the other motherboards, be sure to create a unique thread for each.

Will do. Thanks for all your help!!!
