Big thanks for a lot useful information. Especially interesting how these CPUs (Mendocino) use GTL+/termination bus. May be problem with slotkets is just bad physical contact.

Have you tried measuring with a multimeter if there's connection between the pin on the socket and the pin on the slot? Maybe in some older spec, VTT should be ~2V and is then made from the VCore? Did you measure the voltage with a CPU inserted? Hello,H3nrik V! First .I do measurment with powered …

If the board is working fine with and passing all the tests with the other CPUs then the issue might be the Willy 1.9, now it could be the CPU itself or some issue with it on that board. I suspect the board isn't delivering enough or a stable voltage to the CPU, might be worth checking that its …

The battery corrosion / damage is minimal here so I doubt it´s the reason. It has also been cleaned and taken care of sufficiently. Maybe you should desolder the keyboard connector to make sure there´s no damage underneath. Then I would check all pins of U21 and U23 very carefully for stability of …
