Apple //e Manual Fault Dictionary:

How to use this chart:

Switch on your Apple //e with no disk in any drives. Get out your logic 
probe, and test the pins on each chip and note their reading. Then check 
your list with the list below and compare them. Any inconsistencies 
could signal a faulty chip and should be tested and/or replaced.

       PIN #         1         2         3         4

Pins 1-8 & 22 & 23 on the Keyboard ROM as well as pins 6-14 on the 
Decoder are readings made after "space bar" pressed.

+ These readings are taken under normal stand-by conditions.

That's all there is to it! Please do not ask what the chips themselves 
do - refer to the Apple //e Technical Reference Manual, in the Hardware 
Implementation section.
