Read this entirely and do what it says. Check ALL the contacts in the connectors for corrosion.
If you want bullet proof System 1 performance, you need to do what Clay says. Also once your System 1 is A-OK, a big improvement is the Pascal CPU or All in One PCB.

You NEED to DO what it says here. Do not take shortcuts or avoid doing what Clay says. At the minimum, check each section, like connectors to make sure they are not corroded and in good electrical shape. If your unwilling to do what's in the System 1 guide, expect and receive problems! It's that simple!
Quoted from malkneil:When you say contacts are you referring to the pins on the main chip to the socket, or are we talking the quick connectors from the master board, or both?
Contact or terminals are in the connectors. For an IC I call them legs or leads. The socket would contain contacts or terminals.
Regardless, I will repeat it again. Do the system 1 guide if you want a System 1 that will work and be RELIABLE!!!
