No, your RAM is the one underneath the ROM labeled SIMPSONS, labeled NVRAM on the left hand side of the little circuit board in white ink. Your original RAM was replaced in the upgrade, look at the pics you posted, the repairer didn't reseat the RAM IC he replaced it altogether with one that doesn't require batteries to maintain game/book keeping settings. So the one to reseat is the one labelled Simpsons in my picture? There are multiple kinds of RAM which is why Im asking which one to remove, as mentioned by Mrjamma above. He must have reseated the ram during the upgrade which unbeknownst to him fixed this dumbass problem. He let me know boards were fine besides the upgrades.
