I was given a breadbin 64 about 3 months ago that has the above issue.
To start off, it has a small tag attached indicating it has been to a repair center at some point...
Now it is still in it`s box so I am sorry for being vague, anyways, upon opening and visual inspection of mobo I noticed one of the ICs that sits horizontal as opposed all the other IC`s that sit vertical had it`s pin 1 bulging slightly, took out the IC and the leg had been bent up under the chip, streightened with care, replaced and still black screen...
(should have wrote down IC id...!)
Anyway, fast forward to now, and I have another working C64 so the question I would like to pose is... what order should I start swapping ICs?
Fankoo!
