Tims Retro Corner | I Broke my Commodore 64C, but can I fix it? @TimsRetroCorner | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
So I managed to "k word" my 64C during the making of my last video. Either I plugged in/unplugged the cartridge I was working on without checking the 64 was switched off, or I got it at a bad angle, or something. I'll be honest, I don't exactly know what. But regardless, it ended up totally inoperative with just a black screen.
So now I have to figure out exactly what got fried, and fix it. And hope it costs less in replacement chips than I paid for the machine in the first place (spoiler: it's a close-run thing...)
