U1 checks out but the LED still does not blink with the test EPROM fitted.

Test EPROM socket signals at U3

Cause: A bad U6 address latch, U5 data latch, the EPROM itself, or the chip-select from U9/U10.

Checks

  • U3 pins 1-13, 15-19 and 22 should read 2 to 4 V; pins 14 and 20 about 0 V; pins 21, 23 and 24 about 0.5 V.
  • A missing address line (pins 1-8) means U6 or the EPROM; a missing data line means U5; a missing select at pin 22 means U9 or U10.

Fix

  • Replace the faulty latch, gate or EPROM.
