My C64's 906114-01 chip just went up on me, in the middle
of playing the lemonade stand simulation too :/
My 1541 and 1530 still operate perfectly though!
Any chance I could get a rom chip off anyone?
I'm told it's either the BASIC rom or Kernel ROM
My classic computer collection just got knocked back to nothing :/

How do you know it's this chip, specifically?

Because that's what's printed on the top, of course!

Very funny. :-P
But he didn't say anything about the symptoms that led him to that chip,
specifically.

Yes...which is why I thought perhaps I could provoke a few grins by
missing the point with a totally deadpan but completely ridiculous
response.
I debated putting a :) on there, but it seemed to me the funnier the
more deadpan, and (especially in this crowd) I didn't really expect
anyone to seriously take that as a believed-to-be-helpful answer to the
question it was in response to.

Pulled it apart, fired it up, felt the chips, and that one got hot as
hell within seconds

A lot of them heat up like that, though. What symptoms?

I had my Acorn Master 128 set up and running, with a logic analyser hooked up
to the 1MHz Bus port (debugging some hardware - the analyser makes it soo
much easier). A few seconds later, I noticed a crackling noise.. followed by
copious quantities of foul-smelling Magic Smoke doing its level best to
escape from the PSU area of the plastic case. Needless to say, the machine
was rather quickly unplugged and relocated to a well-ventilated area (i.e.
outside) until the machine stopped smoking.
What did I find after I ripped the machine apart? A Class X2 mains capacitor
that had arced over, shorted out, then overheated. The ensuing smoke-dump and
flamefest ripped the casing apart on one side and reduced part of the casing
to a pile of carbonised plastic.
If anyone wants to see the damage, let me know and I'll put the photos online
somewhere :)
Later.
