Hello everyone,
I was hoping for some definite direction in my endless
quest to fix my
C64.
Then I would suggest that, instead of just venting your frustration that
troubleshooting and repairing computers sometimes requires knowledge,
experience and tools and isn't always easy to do via email without access to
the machine, you accurately describe your symptoms in detail and ask for
specific advice on a list like this where folks know what they're talking
about; the Vintage Computer Forum is another good place, among others.
I'm told to go to Ray Carlsen's site and that
will have everything I need.
http://personalpages.tds.net/~rcarlsen/cbm.html. Which is very nice, but
I'm a beginner and I don't need just a bunch of schematics and reference
material. I need step by step method which explains which tools,
techniques etc. that I need to do.
What you need to do is look more closely in the right place:
http://cbm8bit.com/articles/raycarlsen/raysarticles.php
Near the bottom you will find a number of articles listing symptoms and
possible causes; yours is probably in there somewhere.
