DISCLAIMER: this is a pure "I have no idea but I'll try to push my solitary brain cell to do some work".
Let's reason on this:
my assumptions:
1) the 286 is divided into 2 zones, powered by 2 different Vcc inputs
2) each zone has a Vdd (gnd) - those are pointless here as they are GND
my thoughts
1) if zone2 is powered by Vcc2, and zone 2 is associated with Addresses (A0 to A23)
2) there is something shorted to ground in the ICs/other connected to Addresses
3) this could be avoiding zone2 from working properly and never reach the POST stage
My possible culprits:
i) Keyboard microcontroller (8042)
ii) 2 chips associated to it, located underneath
iii) some other transceiver/multiplexer to ISA bus
Nothing is shorted to ground, but internally something went wrong and an input is now associated to an output to ground, hence my transceiver/multiplex/8042 failed components.
Yes, this is baseless mainly. But it's a starting point to learn from mistakes
