Repairing Commodore 8296-D with Boot up problems (Black Screen)

December 5th, 2012 No comments

I have received this computer Commodore CBM 8296-D 1 year ago. The computer has never worked, it only displays a black screen without any sound beep at the startup boot.

The repair it was very simple, i have replaced the PLA IC 324745-01 (UE5) and 324744-01 (UE6) with two EPROM 27C512 70ns (suitably programmed). The Universal PLA adapter was kindly donated by Manosoft.
