I have a problem I'm hoping someone here can help
with.
Picked up an SX-64 (luggable C64) this past weekend. Worked fine when I
first tested it, cleaned it down (was pretty grimy) and let it sit for 2
days.
Went to power it up today, I get the normal startup screen and ready
prompt but oddly the cursor is stuck at the upper left corner of the
screen instead of down by the ready prompt. Can't type a thing, though
I know the keyboard is still working (cartridge games are able to read the
keyboard just fine).
Anyone have any idea what happened?
Sounds to me like it thinks the home key is stuck, maybe? It'll take a 6526
to fix that, let me know offlist if you need one, as I have plenty of them
(and other c= parts as well).
