Machine has been chugging along just fine until I came home and the screen saver wasn’t moving. Reposted and got this. Thoughts?

Got my first compact Vintage Mac at a garage sale yesterday. $25. Get that screen when I boot. Motherboard has obvious signs of water corrosion. I was able to clean most of that off. I also removed, applied deoxit, and reseated all removable ICs and memory. I also removed each memory stick and turned on the unit with one inserted at a time. Each time I got a different screen. I pulled out my scope and in that second image, you can see on the right hand side that it does not have a contact pin to the memory like the left-hand side has is this enough to throw the whole computer into Wompus Land? Can I correct that lack of a pin with something as simple as a staple? Is there even hope?

My GS is printing weird on my ImageWriter II. Print Shop GS AND AppleWorks GS both print a few lines then go weird. The second image is from Print Shop Color - a modern recreation the the original non-GS version. Looks to have printed fine except for an “@“ symbol near the top. (Some of the other random print is from me recycling misprint paper). Got same results from my AppleSqueezer AND my barebones GSs. Every time I feel like I’m ready to sell the spare, I want to keep it! lol

A lot thicker than I imagined! Thanks for posting the Yahoo! Freemarket link!
