Leon test: switch column drives (2J2)
Steps
- With the Leon test EPROM running, connect the tester LED's plain lead to +5 V.
- Touch the resistor lead to each 2J2 pin: it should blink with the CPU board LEDs.
- If a pin is dead but IC11 is good, check IC17/IC18 (7406): inputs on pins 1, 5, 9, 13 and outputs on 2, 6, 8, 12. Inputs toggling with a dead output means a bad chip.
