Ram-4-GS - fried?



Apparantly, my Ram-4-GS got fried at some point.  Not sure if it was some 
power surge, my 7 year old (he's been using the on/off button and it's not 
a clean off/on that he does), or something else.  The IIGS is extremely 
flakey unless I swap out this card with the old 1MB Apple card.

Anyone know if I can start pulling off the SIMMs to see if any of them are 
fried?  I tried pulling one off and the computer didn't start at all, so I 
just stopped before something _really_ stupid happened.  Maybe there is 
some pairing thing...?

I figure 2MB or 3MB is as good.  Definately better than the 1MB card I'm 
currently working with.  Plus, I can't get into Merlin-16!!  :-/

Anyway, ideas?  The card is pretty darn simple - just the 4 SIMMs and a 
74HCT138 which I could probably sodder myself.  Nothing gets hot on the 
card, so smoking guns so-to-speak.

TIA!
