first thing i do whenever i get a pcb, look for tampering.
anything missing, anything re-soldered, anything cut/crushed/bent or burned.

then hold it up to the light and look between the sockets&chips - with practice you can spot bent pins without pulling all the chips out first.

an example only last week,
a capcom pcb.
a chip had been re-soldered - i checked and found it was "ls" when it should have been "f" and one of the roms had a bent pin in the socket.

it saved a lot of time looking before i powered it up. :)
