The board was pulled several times and I reseated the rom chips.
I have no other explaination for why it started working again after this process.
As for static damage, we are talking about an apparently dead board anyway. What more damage can happen.

I have heard that the checkerboard problem is due to bad connecting RAM SIMMs or connectors. Try getting the memory expansion out, resitting the SIMMs and placing it again. If it doesn't help, try disconnecting the cables that comes from teh analogue board to the motherboard and connecting them again. Probably this
will fix the problem.
I don't think washing the motherboard is a good idea... Water can't do much harm when the thing is disconnected, but our fingers' static can do, and it's allways possible that we plug it again before it's completely dry, and we cause a short circuit :-( .

Alright... now I'm really interested. My Classic I hasn't stopped doing checkerboards since I fixed the brightness problem on my new tube! (little variable resistor on the back of the unit adjusts the base brightness, the software finishes)... What soap? Dishwasher? Remove the PRAM battery of course... what else?
Thanx in advance, Falcon
