Re: IIeuroplus boot problems

Hello,
I have this II europlus clone, its motherboard looks quite the same as an
original europlus (which I have). It doesn't boot. When I turn it on
there's a led that lights up so I think that the power's ok but that's all.
the speaker is silent and nothing appear on the video.
All chips are socketed and I have an original europlus from which I can take
the chips to test the faulty board, but I don't know where to start from.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

I'd first try it with all the cards removed

Quite often a II+ or clones stops working because of oxidation on the
chip legs resulting in poor contact with the socket. Lift each chip up
a bit with a screwdriver and pushing it back down usually restores that
contact.
