Denial

Cheers guys. don't have a multimeter. I have ordered another PSU that's been tested

yes its an original wedge one..how do i go about testing it?

Fuse and folder ok, its the round DIN type

Edit..just ordered a new board that's been tested and a decent price

Yes the LED light goes out and screen turns to static like it does when you switch it off

Thanks just looked at the guide. i have just left it on the black screen with led on for about 20 minutes and it turned itself off??

Hi there my vic 20 has just died with black screen, before that it had crashed in a game. the led lights up when i power in on.
Cant start the cassette deck with shift-runstop. sometimes when turning it on and off i get a screen full of garbled characters. any thoughts?
