If you are saying that, whatever the card and whatever the Slot, the
cards plugged into the GS's Slots did not work, then, there are a few
halfway decent suspects on a GS that, otherwise, seems to work okay:
1. A break in the trace which is supposed to supply +5V to each Slot
card would shut down nearly any Slot card.
2. Most Slot cards need to receive and/or send information over the
Slot Data bus. A defective 74HCT245 (IC UF2) or one with a loose/broken
pin connection would be likely to kill Slot Data bus transfers.
3. A defective Slotmaker chip (IC UE11) or one with a broken trace on
any of several inputs would render most Slot cards non-functional.
4. A break in any of several traces supplying signals to the Slots
would disable many Slot cards.
5. Many Slot cards would not work should any of several Slot traces be
