Here is a photo of the capacitor in question.

Do you have an especially large foot on your PSU bracket? Mine isn't very close to that capacitor once installed. I think perhaps you're just hitting the cap when installing the PSU, and should approach from a more vertical angle.

I have my board in an ST case base and when fitting a PSU you have to angle it so that the PSU switch goes through the case hole so fitting it straight down is not an option with the board in a case.

I'm doing that, too, but I seem to be missing the cap. :)

Board number 2 now booting into DiagROM.

Not booting into TOS though. Need to check soldering and IC pins are not oxidised.

Just a couple of thoughts.

Once these new boards are ensconced in cases, it would be nice to have a badge on the outside to show what is inside?

Also, as these were a limited run, should they be allocated serial numbers for future posterity? I have tagged my two as AU1 and AU2 at the moment.

The other 3 boards have not yet been started. I may end up building 1 of the others as well. The other 2 may b a while before they are started as the owner is away from today for a few weeks.

2nd board is now booting to TOS after cleaning IC pins so must have been oxidisation stopping TOS booting.
