Try powering up with the video RAMs removed (they are
in the back and look
like they have dots on them). With no RAM, the PET should power up to a
blank screen
Tsk, tsk, Ethan, you know better than that ;-)
A PET with a working video section and video RAM removed will show the
classic checkerboard pattern or under certain circumstances a pattern of
small black squares.
No doubt there's considerable PET knowledge on this list, but as Terry
suggested previously the VCF forum or one of the PET/CBM-specific lists
might be a better place to find help with a sick PET...
