I just ran the tests for the Sega CD and it said I had bad program RAM. Would anyone be able to tell me the ID number or where it is physically located on the board? I want to see if I can replace it and get it working.

Keep in mind anything in the path form the CPU to the program RAM could be damaged: traces, logic, etc.
