Ouch, that's pretty bad...

:(

Now you have to bodge wire all the missing connections.

You need a professional electric vacuum desoldering pump and experience for this kind of work. It's a multilayer circuit board and therefore quite delicate. If in doubt, clip off the IC pins and desolder them individually using tweezers.

A manual desoldering pump is completely unsuitable.

You have a later revision TT that never had the schematics published by Atari. The only schematics available are for the PGA revision so there is bound to be minor differences.

I have a Hakko 470

Hi zfrenchy,
it is best to re-solder all pins of the GALs and the 74LS74.

Yes, indeed. Look at the attached picture.
In some boards, R950 has a value of 33 ohms.

Best regards
Robert

Can you shot to me another photo of you board top silkscreen including the region of the CPU ?
It will be handy to see the traces whitout the component.

ALL FIXED, hoping not coming back here when I will install the SpeedyTT, Storm and LighningVME.

At the end, it was only some point to resolder, and a new budge wire between U11 pin 17 and U112 pin 2, no component damaged so far, will see after a while.

Glad you got it working again. Always a nervous time when we do work on these old systems and they stop working.

Let us know how you get on with the SpeedyTT, Storm and LightningVME.
