Apple ][ EuroPlus Repair.

Defects:

  • Black screen.
  • Power light off.
  • Keyboard does not work.

Repair:

About the black screen it was enough to press all the IC in their seat, i have removed some and cleaned the IC's socket and the IC's pins.

The Power light off, the 5v micro bulb was faulty, replaced.

The keyboard had several problems;

The keyboard connector (socket) located on the computer motherboard side was faulty and consequently are missing the -12v for the keyboard encoder PCB.

The 3 TTL chips had been replaced on the keyboard encoder PCB but 2 x 74LS04 are erroneously soldered instead of 2 x 74LS00, the third TTL was correct but not working. Replaced all.

Now everything works reasonably well, unfortunately the bad keyboard has some problems, the internal slats are warped and tend out of their seat, as a result some keys do not work correctly.

I have tried to fix and clean, but the situation hasn't improved much.
