It sounds like replacement of the one remaining original socket, which was a decently intuitive decision, did not change the fault which by the sound of it had already become permanent before you changed the socket.

If it was working from time to time until you changed the socket and then never worked again after that, then I would say look more closely at the socket you replaced.
Thank you for your reply. I switched it on earlier today and it worked but it booted in lowercase! All worked fine though but it should have been in uppercase. I then switched it off and on again and got the dreaded random character screen!
