I have used a variety of DIN-5 to RCA cables in
the past on the C-64.
Worst case, you can look up the pinout of the DIN-5 video connector and
use a VOM/continuity meter to prove which RCA jack is which signal.
I figure one of the connectors ought to show at least something, which is
what leads me to believe that the computer is dead.
...Grrr.
I still hate the C64.
Sorry to hear that. They made me a lot of money (used to write
commercial products, c. 1982-1984). They aren't the epitome of
1980s design, but they sure did ship a lot of them.
