CRG | Can I fix this faulty Amstrad 2086? @CRG | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
I've had this machine sitting in storage for a couple of years now but done very little with it. Its been far to long since I did anything with a retro PC and the old Amstrad certainly needs some love but since I last used it, it's developed a fault. So for part 1, can I fix both the PC and the Monitor?
