But with the NVRAM in the socket? They don't print any of the selftest messages on power-up, not even the first few that they print even with no RAM installed. (I didn't wait long - several seconds - but the first messages are normally close enough to instant that at the human layer I can't see any delay.) So I tried the other boards, the ones that worked (with the same MK48T02B) before. Same syndrome. But pull the chip, and they go back to "working".
You do know that the NVRAM chip still works in other systems? You could try to "hack" it with a new batter.Are you sure you inserted it correctly? If you use the carrier it should be fine, but without it is easy not to. You may fry it. (I did...)
