Denial

Hi there,
Only the keys 6ERUIFGJKLVB work on my Vic-20. I have taken it apart and cleaned all the keys (and retrobrited the case but I don' think that matters ). I have no idea why those keys work and why the others don't, so I was wondering if you could help.

Any replies are greatly appreciated,
Eddie

Try swapping over the VIA1 & VIA2

Seems like the 6522 responsible for scanning the keyboard is faulty. As mrr19121970 suggested, try swapping the two units you can find inside a VIC-20.

This may result in a computer which will give you a black screen.

Replacements are still being made. You can find W65C22N6TPG-14 on www.mouser.com
