Hi.

Does the sound in the machine work okay? Play music etc from games? The CMOS 
is read/written through the System VIA, which also does the sounds, so as 
you said you lost a "boop", is could be a System VIA on the way out.

Or, as it's only the tube crashing, may be the Tube ULA, or the Custom IC 
that bufferes the internal tube on it's way out.

Mark.
