I also have a broken 520 STFm, which I was trying to upgrade to 2.5Mb.  The
upgrade unit did not fit well in the case, so I was trying to adjust the
template which pushes into the MMU chip, then powering up and counting memory.
At one point, the system failed to boot.  So I removed the new ram.  It still
won't boot.  The upgrade consisted of a video piggy back card and the MMU
template.  The current symptoms:  no video, no disk-access light, but the
disk head does move a bit when powered up, and I can hear the video whine.
I suspect problems with either the MMU or video chips, since they are the
ones that get moved/plugged-into.  Any ideas?  I'm dead in the water at the
moment.
