FAULTY Acorn A7000 Computer Motherboard Only ARM7500FE - Crashes Graphics Fault

Note - The bios battery is dead and needs replacing. It has leaked but appears not to have damaged the board.

The result of this when booting it fails to output video. You need to reset the video by holding down ‘R’ and ‘DELETE’ at the same time when booting to reset the video output. This will be the case while the battery is dead every time it is repowered.

It boots but has an issue where even lightly touching the VGA / mouse or keyboard connector causes it to crash. Even not touching anything it still crashed and gives a strange graphics issue sometimes looks double vision effect. For this reason it may or may not behave all the time and has issue.

Possible a dry solder joint but I have not done any further testing. Sold as seen

As this is vintage it is sold as not working because of the graphics issue. So sold as is.

This is the motherboard only. No software. No cables or leads.

The captive screws are missing from the connector side for all the port. VGA, Serial etc

There are the letters ‘K’ and ‘M’ written on the connector tops to indicate which is keyboard and which is mouse ports.

Please look at photos as these form part of the description and help show condition
