I would like to know your opinion about the state of the 4 CMOS 823
components (I remeber from my engineer studies that "black" color is not
good

It would help if you had the first idea what you were talking about !

Those components are resistors, not anything to do with CMOS and they're black
because that's the colour they are made !
