From my experience with Fidelity boards it's usually a poor/cold solder joint somewhere near the relays. If you hear the relay "click" when putting a piece on/off the square it's probably not the relay. Of course it still may be the relay but chances are slim. Finding the relays will be the biggest problem if that's the cause. Fidelity gave me a spare once upon a time but I lost it in all my moving around the world (never had to use it). Good luck. Jim
