I've just opened it up, pulled S22 out and back in (I've previously cleaned all the switches), as it's to do with the ROMs. I switched it on, and "BBC Computer 32K BASIC". Seriously? It's got nothing plugged in at the moment (like MMFS, joystick adapter, audio mod, new power adapter).
An intermittent contact on S22 would cause chaos as the computer would start executing code from a different ROM than what it was expecting to - perhaps even an empty ROM socket and it would make every other ROM in the system vanish. Perhaps the jumper and/or pins are corroded?
