Hi,
....Pity 90% of the machines out there have suffered
the same
black-screen death. One of these days I'll get a probe on one
to see what's not working.....
I wonder if that's related to a design problem I recall seeing mentioned in
the service manual? Something to do with the clock generator failing to
start, later machines were redesigned and ISTR the manual detailed how to
modify the original machines.
The problem usually resulted in a "dead" machine with black screen BTW.
Mine are in easy reach but I didn't get the
original message that
this is a reply to, anything I can dig out?
It was an old message from a few weeks ago, I'd missed it thanks to my
wonderfully reliable mail server....
Tony was asking if the Memotech service manual was available on the web
anywhere?
