I converted my Defender to 4164 RAM a few years back.
The machine has been in storage. While it was there I took the 4114 -> 4164 adapter so that I could build another (I'd lost my notes on how I built the first).
I forgot that I did that. So, when I brought the machine to my apartment, I saw the disconnected connector, plugged it in, fired it up, and smoked some RAM.
Right now I don't have the $$$ to plunk down on all new 4164, so I'm trying to see if any of them are salvageable. I have a few replacements that I can swap out.
The 2nd and 4th LEDs are lit. According to the manual, this means that there's something blown in the 4th bank, correct? Replaced them with no change.
Others had definitely blown (shorted, and HOT) and those have already been replaced.
