Texas Instruments TI-99/4A Repair (#2)

Defect:

  • Blue Screen with tiny Vertical lines.
  • Wave/Raster Lines.

  • 2 x IC MCM6810P (128 x 8-Bit Random-Access Memory TTL/DTL)
  • 1 x IC CD3236A-NL (ROM)

Note:

In one photo you can see the curious change made in this TI-99/4A by inserting a resistor in the pitch where in other motherboards is soldered a leg of a electrolytic capacitor and then one leg of the capacitor is welded and the not the other leg.  Compliments.
