Quando rimuovete un’integrato con il cacciavite bisogna stare attenti ad alzare l’integrato dallo zoccolo e non lo zoccolo dal PCB :lol:
Detto questo e dopo aver ponticellato la pista interrotta del GTIA e sostituito un RAM guasta il computer ha ripreso a funzionare correttamente.
Dopo la riparazione ho anche fatto la modifica per migliorare il segnale S-Video (la serie XE ha l’uscita anche S-Video).
Questa semplice modifica va a sostituire/aggiungere alcune resistenze e condensatori che nella versione XE sono errati per una resa perfetta del segnale S-Video.
Le istruzioni della modifica lo potete trovare nel link a fine articolo.
NOTE: La descrizione della modifica nello STEP 4 e’ errata non e’ Q2 ma Q3 e nello STEP 5 non e’ Q3 ma Q2.
NOTE2: Ovviamente dopo aver assemblato il computer ho notato che il tasto “B” rimaneva incastrato, il pistoncino aveva una crepa e’ bastato sostituirlo e il tasto ora funziona correttamente.

Questo e’ lo stesso articolo del precedente “Pulitore Floppy Disk” con l’unica differenza che questa volta ho utilizzato una meccanica alps.
Ho anche collegato il Led ROSSO limitando il voltaggio con una resistenza da 680 ohm 1W.
Precedente Post:
Perché buttare via un lettore Floppy Disk Drive della Commodore con la testina interrotta potrebbe diventare un’ottimo sistema per pulire i Floppy Disk.
Come fare ? basta disassemblare tutta la parte che controlla il movimento della testina compresa la testina stessa.
L’alimentatore utilizzato e da 12v con almeno 1A, dovete collegare il positivo al filo MARRONE e il negativo al filo NERO del PCB controllo motore.
Buona Pulizia.
