KOJRO Retro innovations | The Commodore 64 resurrection series, Part 10. The Norwegian C64 @kojroRI | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
This is part 10 of the resurrection series. I do think that there will be more parts in this series, but they will have to wait until later this year. I am now back from vacation, and the editing of this video did take a bit longer than anticipated. I sent the computer back just after repairing, and I lost some of the footage, and this I of course did not discover until I was back from vacation. I managed both to damage the file system on my SD card, and to format and overwrite a USB thumb drive. But I do think that the result got OK in the end. There are some less details from the fault finding than usual, but I think the commentary makes up for that. The Resurrection series is a bunch of videos where we celebrate the 40-year anniversary of the Commodore 64 by doing a pile of repair videos. This time it’s a genuine C64 repair job, and I took on a customer that had a c64 that he intended to use, so I said OK, send it to me, I will only charge for parts and shipping, and we turn it into a video. I have a lot of old C64’s both single motherboards and complete systems. Nearly all of them need some kind of attention now, and many of them have been neglected now for the best part of 30 years, and shows the sign of that. In the prequel to this series I did build a SixtyClone board to have as a reference, and tool to test chips and other peripherals. I do appreciate feedback, and I find it difficult to maintain a good rhythm on these repairs, so some pointers will be appreciated. So happy birthday C64, and as an appreciation for the community and the future of the remaining C64’s out there. Here is my number 10 video in the C64 Resurrection series, so let’s celebrate our favorite 8-bit computer. #C64 #RetroComputerRepair #commodore
