Got this KI board immediately showing this screen. It does not look like the rug pattern screens I have seen in the past but perhaps it is and just looks odd. The ones I have seen have a zig zag woven look to it. I am just trying to see if this is a cpu issue or something else.

The attached picture is what I know to be the rug screen (not mine).

The video link is what mine is doing. If anyone has any thought to what mine is doing and how to fix it, please let me know.

Thanks

Push down on the cpu and turn it on, see if there are any changes.

It could also be another component such as the buffers near the cpu or a loose PLCC chip. Tons of things honestly cause the rug pattern.
 
I don't recommend touching CPU on these. Yes you can have opens but you can damage pcb beyond repair if you do not know how to reflow them. I do these weekly. Yesterday I did two with same dead pattern that had opens on buffers only.

How much do you charge to repair them?
 
Mine with loose pins was like that, and then I had someone repair it and it still did that so he thought it was a bad CPU. It was an expensive way to learn the CPU was bad lol.
