Yep!
R29 is usually the indication that you've got a connector problem. Also
a "popular" fix is just to solder some wires onto the board and splice
around the connector.. I'm not advocating it (quite the opposite) but
I've worked on more machines than I care to think about that have had
that little tweak..
We just had a battlezone with that problem. A little tender loving care
in cleaning/bending/rebuilding of the connector by Jeff got it working
great.. (and just had to replace R29..)
