all. Even with the circuit board lifted clear of the plungers,
it's still complaining about no keyboard attached. Continuity between the
keyboard and the stereo phone plug is fine. I believe the edge connector
between the chassis and the motherboard is shot. Fortunately, all the
interconnects between the CRT housing and the motherboard connector are
ribbon cables, so it's at least feasible to cut the connector off and
crimp a new one on.
If you're unlucky the corrosion will have crept along the wires inside
the insulation and you;'ll have open-circuits in the cable? Hos is the
cable attached at the other end? Is it possible to replave the cable and
connector?
