Yes with card and IPA alcohol and the fact that I'm getting a green screen without cart must show its not a slot problem!

Sounds like a compound issue to me but I guess you know a lot. Have fun.

I Apologise if I came across rude, it was not my intention :). And as for knowing a lot, in fact I know nothing at all :scratch:. I have the upmost respect for all of you and even more so for all the help I have thus far received. Please if you have an idea what me and BB have not thought of please share. I need all the help and the more help the better I want to crack this and have it working. Again I'm sorry if I offended.

You may need to work on getting a hold of some palette ram... I'm going to do the pinouts for the palette ram just for double checking. We are in the proper location.

This whole thread is stuff of nightmares....

Why put so much time into it? Why not just buy a working AES? If you are tight on money, people here would sell you a working one for a decent price...

Its now the principle of the thing, its because of the time we have put into it and the sense of achivement when or if I finally get it working. And also the doing of this, might be useful to others which would speed up there diagnosis. That and the fact I like to torture myself lol.

If all of these are making the connection one of the associated chips may be overheating causing the color change from blue to green.

one small change but again all present,

I have found replacement palette ram chips on aliexpress but its going to take a while to get them due to delivery time. So would you recommend this to start with?

You don't have a logic probe do you?
I think one of the associated chips may be overheating so you should turn the unit on and let it sit for like ten to fifteen minutes. feel the tops of the associated chips to see if one of them get's warm/hot similar to the YM2610.

I tested with the machine on for 15-20 mins none of the chips were anywhere close to the temp of YM2610, to be honest they were all very cool. Should I get a cheap Logic probe?

logic probe is going to be necessary down the road but for now I would work on getting in the palette ram. It may take a week for you to get them.
