Got another 4 board DK stack in the mail this weekend, from Magister. Board appeared clean on quick visual inspection. Would not boot at all.
Pulled the CLK board off and swapped in a working board. Boardset now boots, although there are graphics issues. Likely bad eproms somewhere on video board, but that's fine - I can take care of that later.
I put Magister's CLK board into my clean 4 board stack - no boot. Problem is definitely on the CLK board.
Closer inspection of the CLK board reveals lots of corrosion on chip legs all over.
An example:
Now, the question is: do I worry about this, or just try a light wire brush to get the corrosion off? Should I just start looking for another CLK board? I'm not sure if these chips will need to be replaced or not.
