Always the same hint when a bridgeboard behaves unpredictable:
Draw it out of its slot, lay it flat on your table. Look at every IC.
If any IC looks not seated 100% properly, extract it (but not the
square LCC chips), and replug it properly. Then press every chip
(also the not extracted ones) firmly into their sockets. At last
reseat the board firmly into its slot. If it doesn't help, repeat
the whole procedure. It has helped me wonders at some time. And as
you tell you have a used bridgeboard, it seems even more likely
that your problems lye here in the area of contacts.
