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.

Questa riparazione e’ stata fatta solo per una sfida personale, il computer risulta comunque instabile e con diversi componenti guasti.

Dopo l’accurata pulizia il computer presenta questi problemi:

• TED MOS 8360R2 non funzionante (la tastiera non funziona) anche sostituendo il TED non funziona, il TED e’ stato provato con un Commodore 16 funzionante e la tastiera continua a non funzionare.
• PIO MOS 6529 da sostituire. La tastiera non funziona.
• CPU MOS 8501 defunta.
• Porte Joystick (vedi foto)
• Il Connettore Cartuccia deve essere sostituito.
• Modulatore senza coperchio (Sopra e Sotto)
• Bisognerebbe sostituire gli zoccoli del TED e della CPU.
• Altri pezzi arruginiti.

Ho ricevuto da un’amico due Sinclair ZX-81 da riparare e approfittando del momento “sinclair” :-D ho riparato anche uno dei miei ZX-81 che e’ morto restando spento per anni :-(

Due su tre ZX-81 avevano l’ULA fottuta , mentre il terzo aveva la membrana disintegrata e corto circuiti causati da qualcuno che NON sapeva dissaldare/saldare correttamente.

Ho recuperato l’ULA da questo ultimo e ho sistemato quello che era messo meglio dei due aprofittando di fare anche la modifica Video Composito con il kit ZX8-CCB.

Ho riparato anche il mio ZX-81 sempre con l’ULA fottuta e installato la modifica Video Composito con il kit ZX8-CCB.

Ringrazio Marco Lucarelli per avermi regalato la modifica Video Composito e avermi lasciato per spare parts uno dei due ZX-81 senza ULA / membrana disintegrata e diversi cortocircuiti.

Galleria della riparazione:

Ho sostituito tutti i condensatori elettrolitici della motherboard dell’Amiga 600.

Galleria delle riparazione:

Ho sostituito lo zoccolo della CPU dell’Amiga 2000 perche’ il computer presentava strani problemi al boot, esempio : schermo nero.

Dopo la sostituzione il problema non si e’ piu’ presentato.
