ASICs Turtles Solder points

[Retroman839]

Turtles ASICS …
I have no back grounds …
Reading a repair from Caius on AP directed me to the ASICS ..
for back ground graphics that I’m missing.

I cannot see any disconnected
Pins by eye .. but with photos
I can see this

I will do continuity test ( although just the Weight of my hands with probe making contact could easily create good contact )
But do these look like a weak solder bridge ? Visually black line visible.

And these diffrent location look ropey

You could easily have a fractured solder joint on any of these, I always use a exacto knife tip and give each pin a gentle push to the left or right, if the pin moves it is a fractured joint.

Personally I would just reflow every pin on the ASICS, If you have the soldering skills.
