Re: Apple IIgs random hardware crashing - any ideas?



Try the simple stuff first:

If you think the shielding may be an issue,pull the shieldling out of the case and run your IIgs without it.

Try a heat gun/hair dryer and see if you can make the board fail by heating specific areas the same way you attempted to locate problem areas with the freeze spray.

I concur with Michael. It is probably a stress induced by the being in the case. Physical stress laterally along the board, probably combined with a minor heat up to emphasize a crack in a trace or cold solder joint. As video is messed up, I'd check the 'slow ram' for solder cracks first and concentrate on testing the board in that area.

Thankx,
