xrbrevin Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I am trying to revive an aftermarket 32k RAM board for my 400. It is the type that uses 16x 4116 DRAMs. I desoldered and socketed all the chips and found 1x 4116 chip was at fault. My TL866 EPROM programmer says that all the 74LS chips are good but the board still fails to boot. As these PCBs are not the best quality, I'm wondering if I lifted a track that would need to be bridged. Does anyone have a schematic diagram for a 16x 4116 chip type 32k board? I need to do continuity checks across the DRAM pins but i could do with some knowledge before I commence. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am aware that a number of DRAM pins are common between the whole group but some are not. Id just like to be as clued as poss before getting the multimeter out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClausB Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 One with daylight instead of flash, and unyellowed. The original is an actual blueprint that has yellowed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
