What's wrong with it? If it doesn't do
anything at all, it's most
likely the power supply, they overheat and burn out easily.
Fortunately, these aren't that hard to construct/find replacements for.
Is it a disk drive related issue? Those 1541 drives go out of alignment
if you look at them funny. I've also heard of the video chips failing,
although I have never seen it happen. Fortunately, there were millions
of C64's sold, so they turn up very frequently. If it's a problem with
the computer itself, it may be simpler to get another one off ebay,
especially if you don't have spare parts or good experience fixing
something like this.
CIA (6522) and RAM. In mid 1990's fixed a C64 of bad ram.
Yeah, power supply bricks were weak link.
