Question for you. What chip did you replace on the MPU board (at U what on the MPU board)? I understand the chip that controls the ram's enable line as stated above but where is that at on the board?

If you don't mind letting me know.

Thank you, I am having a similar issue and hoping this will help.

On boot up mine does the slow flashing on diagnostics but after about 15-20 seconds it finishes the boot up and plays normally. I may try replacing U35 and update if it fixes my issue as well. I will update when completed.

No acid damage on the board at all. Battery holdover was removed and NVRAM installed prior to me owning the pin. I have to order a 74SL10 chip at U35 once great plains opens up again as Ed is trying to catch up on orders.
