Hae you looked
for activity on the bus lines, processor pins, SIMM
sockets, etc? It may be soemthing obvious.
Not yet. If I get sufficiently bored in the not too distant future, I'll
probably build up an ISA bodge-board for the HP16500B and see what's
going on.
While a logic analyser is avery useful tool. a logic probe is useful too,
just to see if anything is going on -- and it's a lot quicker to use than
the anlyser. Of course a LogicDart gives you the best of both for many
jobs, but just try finding one now... I would run a logic probe over the
pins of the BIOS ROM, the ISA slots, etc. Basically, anything where
you have some idea waht pins should be toggling...
I asusme ther
are internal signal layers too, so resoldering both
surfaces may not be enough.
I have a sneaking suspicion it's a 4-layer board...
If the inner layers are just power and ground planes, then it's fairly
easy to fix, in that the signal traces are visible. But if there are
hidden signal traces too, as I'd expect, it's a lot harder if there's
damaged through-plating anywhere.
