Many thanks ! :D
I have just placed my order 8)

It is not too difficult to assemble ? (I have already used a soldering iron).

I soldered mine myself and it's an slow process but not difficult. SMD components come already soldered on mine.

Take a look at

It's a detailed step by step visual guide of the soldering process.

Great!
I finished soldering a second FE a couple of days ago (for friend with no soldering skills).
I took pictures of the entire process on the way :)

I like hardware pictures 8)

I have finished soldering my FE3, it works like a charm ! :D

I don't see any difference between the use of the 2 RESET buttons, both bring me the FE3 menu, is it normal ?
I have read that the yellow button keeps the memory configuration while the red do not but I can't confirm...

Try dropping to Basic (edit - why did I write Does?) with 16k expansion and wedge then reset.

One button should reset the Vic only, the other should go back to the menu from memory.

Thanks Ian, it works after having chosen a RAM configutation with the RAM Manager (F1 key).

But why it doesn't work after hitting F7 in the main menu (BASIC Wedge) ???
