What advanced repair ? adding buffer chips like on the STE ? if so, actually that wouldn't fix the issue (but ironically might help to get it working)

the one linked in the thread you posted earlier, where you put a 10k 9 pin sip on the 1772

since the previous replier mentioned the old repair that lifts up legs. I'd rather not be lifting legs and stuff.

Might need the 1772 fixes as well then.
