Test EPROM memory test does not pass

Cause: A bad U4 6116 RAM, or a missing select from U9/U10.

Checks

  • Address and data pins on U4 should read 2 to 4 V; pins 14 and 20 at 0 V and pins 21, 23 and 25 near 0.5 V.
  • Check the select signal at U4 pin 18; if missing, follow it back to U9/U10.

Fix

  • Replace U4, or the U9/U10 gate whose input is present but output is not.
