Success! I cleaned the daylights out of the horrible looking motherboard, swapped my chips from my non-working A2000 board, and poof! I get a boot screen! I harbor no illusions that this is perfect and will continue to work forever, but I am so happy with my progress! No I will put this back in my A2000 case and make sure all the hardware works and my OS is still intact on my drives.
I figure I put in about two or three hours of determined cleaning on this thing. I went as far as to take a tiny little tool and scrape clean each contact on the 68000 socket. But, $80 for the A2000, $35 in shipping and about $10 in cleaning supplies and I have a fully functioning A2000 again! Time to put some of my Zorro II cards to work again!
My goal is to put in my GVP '40 card with 32 MB RAM, My Picasso II RTG Card, My A386 Bridgeboard, and possibly put the Video Toaster back.
