This test takes advantage of the fact that integrated circuits belong
to a family of ICs known as TTL or "Transistor, Transistor Logic".
Simply stated, TTL means that the integrated circuits are made of
transistors. When transistors fail, they will usually short circuit
and we can detect the shorted transistor in the IC the same way we
test a regular transistor.

Set your digital multimeter to the "diode test" range. Connect the red
(positive) meter lead to the ground connection of the board. No...
This is not a misprint! In order to read the "junction drop" of the
pin of the IC under test you must ground the positive lead of the
meter.

Use the black meter lead to probe each of the input and output pins of
the IC. You don't even have to know which pins are inputs and which
are outputs. Just probe them all, one at a time. A good input or
output will generally display a normal junction drop reading
(generally between .4 and .9 volt). If the integrated circuit is bad,
the meter will generally display a much lower reading such as .05 or
.1 volt. Sometimes the bad IC will display a much higher reading
instead of the normal junction drop. If the reading is too low or too
high, the bad output pin of the IC will display a reading that is
obviously much different than all of the other pins of all the other
integrated circuit.

I have a Super Sprint vid that has some artifacts that are not associated with the monitor or the ram and errors do not show up in self-test.

Is there a generic way I can read each IC on the board(s) to find the offender?

Thanks for looking!
