One of the more common failures of a C64 is the power supply; that's

The innards of those things, however, are potted--I don't know of
anyone who's been able to get the components out of the potting
compound.
There are workarounds that involve constructing replacements. Here's

I started with my original C64 which I bought in
1987. I had left it
in a garage for two years and then tried to use it and it didn't
work.
In what way does it not work?
