Wow - just wow. Never seen an IC cooked this badly. And it's hard for me to believe that just +5v can do all this damage. I found this complete Defender on Craigslist and started into it last night.
Is it common to mix ram? some of them are 9016's and others are 416P's. I'll probably end up replacing all rams. What ram are used these days in a Defender?
This socket in particular just crumbled as I was removing it. I'm thinking this board will be ok but it got really hot under the socket.
Not sure what would have caused this, as I replace the sockets and ram I sure wouldn't want to have all my work fry again.
