you probably have some dead reed switches in the board

if only some squares are dead then its the reed switchs
if an entire rank or file is dead,then it probably is a contact that can be
cleaned..
i myself rarely try to repair a computer, especially one as wonderful as the
Prestige
i just have no confidence i will do it correctly and i am petrified i will make
matters even worse

about two weeks ago i posted a meggage here  about Robin Smith,a CCC member who
was able to repair several chess computers for me

he is highly reliable..
here is his email address should you need him..
