Sick Vic
Posted: Thu Dec 21, 2017 12:57 pm
I just powered up my Vic after being in the cupboard for a while. I got this upon startup..
The cursor is blinking and can be moved around the screen with the cursor keys. Typing letters or trying to change the cursor colour has no effect.
Any idea what could be wrong with this?
My thinking is that the Vic chip itself may be OK since we have a 'screen', border and a flashing cursor. I did mod this Vic to give it 16k RAM by piggy-backing RAM on top of the ROM chips. Could dry joints to either ROM chips cause this?
