Help with 68XL

I've got a PC68XL that powers up, but no TX or RX, does change the indicator light and PA works as normal, but there's just no audio either way. Any suggestions?
 

Check for broken legs on the audio chip that is mounted on the side of the chassis. It has 10 pins. If thats OK then start pushing on the board and making it flex a bit. Do this with something that is not metal or your finger. If it comes to life when flexing the board in different places then you have a cold solder joint and the fun is finding it and touching up the solder.

Hope this helps. This is what I find to be the problem with a lot of the older rigs.
