Glitchy iigs w/accellerator



Hello,

I have a 7Mhz TranswarpGS in my IIgs....

My IIgs is equiped with a 150Watte Buggie Power supply...

When I turn it on it always hangs durring GS OS startup on first try... If I wait a few minutes and then do a keyboard reset it usually boots up just fine... though it still crashes a fair ammount when running SIS.

The cable that goes in the processor socket on the main board seems to plug in a bit loose... in fact, I seem to recall being able to pull it out with my hands... no tools.

I suck at soldering and have never been successfull at desoldering(I know how to do it, I just usually end up botching it)... but if I had someone replace the processor socket on my IIgs with a better one would it be likely to alleviate some of these errors? maybe run extra wiring from the power socket to the slot being used for it?(and maybe some of the other slots? most of them are filled in this system)
