that's possible, it's easy enough to test (just check continuity
across F1).

pins.

Yes, that was indeed the problem.  Upon removing all the ICs, the power
to U14 disappeared.  What could cause this, a blown fuse at F1?

(...) I traced the lack of power to a dead wire between C5 and pin 28 of U14; soldering a small piece of wire between these connections fixed it. Thanks, everything works perfectly now! (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

However, I suspect that the same problem I'm experiencing would happen on my Handy Board if eviscerated one of my other robots and tried it. (...)
