The Commodore 64 resurrection series, Part 5, All Lights Out

This is the fifth part of a series of videos where we celebrate the 40-year anniversary of the Commodore 64 by doing a bunch of repair videos. I have a lot of old C64’s both single motherboards and complete systems. Nearly all of them need some kind of attention now, and many of them have been neglected now for the best part of 30 years, and shows the sign of that. In the prequel to this series I did build a SixtyClone board to have as a reference, and tool to test chips and other peripherals. This time it’s two systems, first a breadbin with a strange keyboard, then a single board. First we have a hard time finding a C64 with foults. The C64C in this episode has a rather obvious fault from the start, but this needs to be fixed before we can investigate further. I do appreciate feedback, and I find it difficult to maintain a good rhythm on these repairs, so some pointers will be appreciated. So happy birthday C64, and as an appreciation for the community and the future of the remaining C64’s out there. Here is my number 4 video in the C64 Resurrection series, so let’s celebrate our favorite 8-bit computer. #C64 #Commodore #RetroComputer
