Most people bin them, check power supply and caps there is a tut on that in the stuck in tune guide, also remove simm and clean contacts make sure it relocates securely.

Nearly always an attie problem-dry joint somewhere on one of the atmel chips-try pushing down on the 2 chips, 1 side at at a time with something non metallic (cut a piece of plastic or something stiff) push down on the pins and reboot box-see if it goes off 8888. If it does, add some heat to the pins on the side you were working with with plenty of flux-best is a solderpro with heat head (or hot air rework)-if you use a soldering iron the pins are very small so you will need a fine tipped iron.
