@Rod Stewart posted:That's kind of how I read it too John. No, no chance of changing the large chips, that's for sure. I was just curious what they might be. I figured memory and the main cpu. Thanks.
I separated one of these boards sets once, it was a major pita. I didn't get it working anyway, that's the last time I spent significant time on a 5V board set. I'm willing to spend a little more time on the 3V board sets as they typically will live a lot longer than the 5V boards once you get them working. Like GGG says, I'll replace the random coupler or light FET/transistor, audio amp, etc. but after that I just toss the board into the dead boards box.
This is about two years worth, I cleaned this out a couple of years ago.
