If you have another 35, maybe you can confirm the CPU board works or doesn't by swapping for a known good one.

Unfortunately, there is a small risk that swapping may damage a good CPU board. If you have a multimeter you can check the power supply rails first to see that they are all good.

The test points are labelled here from Tony Duell...

Thank you Tony, CPU boards swapping was the first thing that came to my mind, but I also thought about the risk, however minimal, of being then with two 35 opened and, even worse, both not working...
Thanks for the advice, I measured the voltage and read, with my 8.5 V multimeter, where it should be from scheme 8.2, but I do not know the accuracy of my instrument and the tolerance allowed.
I measured on test points what I could measure with the multimeter i.e. Vss = 6.49 (expected value 6 V) and Vgg = -12.94 (expected value -12 V), what do you think of these results?
