This gallery shows some stages of the repair of the Sinclair Spectrum 48k.
Defects found on the Sinclair Spectrum #1:
- Black Screen of Death/Garbage Screen.
Components replaced:
Defects found on the Sinclair Spectrum #2:
Components replaced:
- 5 x Electrolytic Capacitors 22uf / 16v
- 1 x SN94459 (LM 1889) Tv video Modulator IC with Chroma Reference Signal (Color)
Defects found on the Sinclair Spectrum #3:
Calibration:
- Calibration of Trimmer (VR2)
Defects found on the Sinclair Spectrum #4:
Components replaced:
- 1 x RAM TMS4532
- 1 x Transistor ZTX650
- Extra:
- Composite Video
- Conversion from Spectrum (Issue 2) To Spectrum +
Defects found on the Sinclair Spectrum #5:
- Garbage Screen and high absorption on the 12v line and 0v (ground) with explosion of the transistors ZTX-650 (651) and ZTX-213
Components replaced:
- 1 x Zener 5v1
- 12 x Electrolytic capacitors
- 3 x 4116 RAM (two of these in total short circuit between pin 8 and 16)
- 8 x OKI 3732 RAM
- 1 x Sinclair ROM
- 1 x 74HCT(LS)32
- 1 x Transistor ZTX-213
- 1 x Transistor ZTX-650
- Info:
- About the explosion of the transistors i have isolated the problem, are the ram (LOW).
The bad way used some years ago was cut the pin 8 of the all 4116 ram to isolate the bad one, in this case, i didn’t cut the pins of the ram, but i have cut the track of 12v which is part of all the 4116 ram, doing so, the transistor ZTX650(651) doesn’t explode.
At this point there is a short in one or more RAM between +12 and 0v. I have measured the absorption where i have cut the track and it absorbs too much.
I just have to unsolder the pin 8 of the 4116 ram and trying to isolate it for find which ram is short-circuited.
- …it was not over:
- When the repair is finished and i have replaced all OKI 3732 RAM with a new one, another IC has decided to die, a 74HC(LS)32. I have no words.
Defects found on the Sinclair Spectrum #6:
Components replaced:
Sinclair Spectrum Faulty / AutoLoad Video:

This gallery shows some stages of repairing the Commodore PET 2001-8C
Two months have passed since i have received my Commodore PET 2001-8 Chicklet exchanged for a Sharp MZ-80K, was the day 28/08/2013.
The motherboard was in disastrous conditions, it took two months and a lot of patience to repair it.
Defect:
- Garbled characters at boot.
- Tape Recorder (Datassette) Motor Tired.
Replaced parts and various repairs:
A large number of short circuits visible and not visible (under the ic sockets)
- 2 x 6540 ROM Basic 1.0
- 2 x 74LS00
- 3 x 74LS157
- 1 x 7805
- 2 x Electrolytic Capacitor / Tantalum.
- 1 x Tape Motor
- 16 x 2114 RAM
I want to dwell on the ram, i noticed that the PET 2001-8 Chicklet does not digest very well all ram.
These ram don’t work properly for my PET 2001-8 Chicklet:
- TESLA 2114 (2/8)
- MM2214N
- SY2114-2
- HKE2114L-2
I had to buy several stocks of ram in 2114 to find the right ram that work correctly. The ram that work very well are the ELCAP 2114L-3.
I have to thank Andrea Pierdomenico for the ROM test on his PET 2001-8C and Alessandro Polito. for the exchange.

This gallery shows some stages of repairing the Commodore CBM 610.
Defects found on the Commodore CBM 610:
- Random raster lines on the screen.
Components replaced:
- 2 x 74LS245
- 1 x 74S32
- 1 x 74S05
- 1 X 74LS14
- 2 x Capacitor 22uf 10v
- 2 x Capacitor 1uf 50v
I have passed three weeks of suffering for repairing this CBM 610. The finding of the fault is not has been easy, the key component of the failure was the IC 74S05 (U96) followed by the other components.
Tomasz “Tebe” Biela has released an update of the program Graph2Font v3.9.8.7.
This project began many years ago as a simple graphics converter for Atari but over the years the features are significantly increased. The converter runs under Windows.

CBM-Command is a disk manager for the Commodore 64 / Commodore 128 / Commodore VIC20 / PET and Commodore C16 computers. It is written like Norton Commander or Midnight Commander, but is much simpler due to the target platforms. Both the C128/C64/VIC20/C16/PET have their own native version of the application.
Release Notes – Version 2.3 Final
This is the final release for CBM-Command Version 2.3. What happened to version 2.2? Well, cc65 went through several breaking changes and I wanted to make a clear delineation that this version of CBM-Command isn’t a simple fix and recompile of the last version 2.2.
New Features:
- Provides Side-By-Side panels or Top-And-Bottom panels on 40-column systems.
- Batch disk image creation.
- User can select drive or partition number.
- The disks have a little BASIC-language program that can update your configuration files.
Known Issues:
- It can trigger the write-and-replace bug.
- It can’t create or write back D80 and D82 images.
- The REL-file copier doesn’t truncate old target files that have the same record size as the new file.
- It will try to copy DEL files if they are selected.
- Errors don’t stop batch operations; the file is skipped.
