Amiga 2000-EATX rev 1.2.1 reset troubles

[Trakman500]

Hi! Finally I finished assembling the a2000 and it started up almost immediately! :) But as it turned out, the reset practically doesn’t work... every third or tenth time, or even the twentieth time, it works... I can’t understand the reason? When inspecting the reset generation circuit, the following was noticed - if you put your finger on the side 8-9-10-11 of the U805 leg and press the reset button, then the reset works well; removing the finger also starts to work poorly... I measured the esr of capacitors C813 C814, everything is fine normal... where to look?

Does the keyboard reset work? If not, there may be issues with U805 or associated passives. The reset switch works by pulling pin 1 of XU1 to ground. This also pulls pin 10 of U805 to ground. XU1 will then hold pin 1 low for 150ns after the reset button is released.

Placing your finger on an IC can create just enough pressure to "fix" a floating leg. If you have a floating leg, it can be hard to check continuity because placing a probe on the leg can bend it just enough to work. I would start by reflowing U805, XU1, and associated passives.
