Commodore Amiga 500 Green screen of Death Repair

The problem of the green screen of death is usually due to a problem of DRAM,FAT AGNUS (chip or socket), GARY.

In this case all four DRAMs are failed. The pin 18 (IO/3) was always at high level.

Replacing DRAM everything has started to work properly.

    I’ve found removing memory from the 500; is a bit of nightmare with just a normal soldering bolt. Noticed your vacuum station ;-)

    Did the case close ok with the sockets?
