Hi all,
I recently recovered my old 386 Motherboard from 1993. I removed and replaced the battery because it had the typical corrosion problem in these old motherboards, so I cleaned it and repair one track that affected the keyboard.
I see some tracks with corrosion but there is no electric interruption if I use the multimeter to measure the continuity.
The MB turn on and works but I get the screen message "CACHE MEMORY BAD, DO NOT ENABLE CACHE !"
I read others topics about this, someone fixed a bad track and worked but I can't get the bad one.
I tried a new set of cache memory and TAG (128 KB) that worked in other MB but I got the same message.

Attach some pictures of the MB and the warning message

Any help will be appreciated

Either you missed somewhere or the socket itself is experiencing high resistance.

Could be somewhere like this or elsewhere. The resistance might matter too. There's a lot of messed up traces there which should be cleaned up.
