      I've had some real stinkers in the past so I'm probably due a few easy ones 🤣
      And people created faults are always more interesting to work out than the naturally occurring faults.

    Nice work bud. I recently revived one that had a purpleish screen and freezing and dead test was showing pla and vic2 good, but showing a whole row of ram bad. I knew (assumed) that it was the multiplexer which were both socketed in this board, but nothing else except vic ii. Changed multiplexer and boom. The right amount of bytes:) changed pla and got boot screen, but still purpleish. It was the vic ii . Then normal screen. Unfortunately the sid was bad too. Lol. Those vic ii can cause weird problems eh?

    What? No retrobrighting! I'm interested in what technique you think works best, here in the UK. Do we need a lightbox?

    • @MoreFunMakingIt
      @MoreFunMakingIt  10 місяців тому +1

      My lazy method is just shove it outside on a sunny day. Doesn't work quite as well on a C64, but fine for most jobs. I've not tried it myself yet but I hear very good things about vapour briting. A light box probably not that essential unless you have no outdoor space. Even in the winter the weak sun is going to be much stronger than a lamp. Plus I'm wary of the fumes so outdoors, for me is a must.
      All just my opinion!

    VIC SID and PLA all fried? I bet you the original potted brick of death went boom and took them out. Wonder why there is a bodge on the power switch, did it cook a trace?

      @MoreFunMakingIt  Рік тому

      That's actually an interesting theory. I mean it taking out the trace. I've got another one on the bench right now that's got exactly the same bodge. I started to think it was factory!
