Msg 46498 is 12 line(s) on 10/18/93 from DENNIS STAHL to ROY LIPSCOMB re: II/E PROBLEM Ah yes. I remember the screen full of garbage well. About 5 years ago I had a similar problem with my daughters II/e. Unfortunately I do not remember which chip. I tried "rocking" all chips, connectors, etc. all to no avail. The "brute force" method I used (rather than trying to isolate which gate in which chip was the offender) is as follows: 1)Make a list of all the 74- series chips in the machine. Note, there are duplicates. 2)Purchase one each of all the chips (I believe this set me back all of $5-7 at Tri-State Electronics. 3)Substitute half (binary search) of the chips at a time. You will soon correct (and if you continue isolate) the bad chip. Any questions? Ask. Good luck! P.S. I don't remember which chip but the symptoms you describe are exactly the same.
