You undoubtedly zapped the 8520's...Replace them.  They are located right
under the power supply, towards the back of of the machine.


Now, on a slightly different subject...

A while ago I posted about how I fixed my clock problem by replacing the
8520's with older ones from an A1000, but got no response.  I'll try again...

What is the difference between the RS series of 8520's that are found in the
A1000, and the A-1 series, found in the A2000.  I tried several 8520A-1's in
my 2000 and none would fix the problem of my haywire clock, but, when I use
the older 8520RS' chips from the 1000, the A2630 card likes them just fine.
Any ideas?
