Hey All-
I as well have been in touch with Mayfly as TPUG sold him the original
C64 system. There may be a power supply problem which TPUG is willing t
o correct as well as possibly the C64. I don't know anything about the uIEC.

Hi guys,,
Mayfly has already made arrangements with me to check a "Black-screen"
64 on Saturday afternoon. I did suggest the TPUG meeting as well as Tom
Luff. I'll let you know Saturday what is up. If you guys can be on
c64friends; I can post it there as well. He did not mention to me the
uIEC which I know little about.

Hi Mayfly,
I am Tom Luff with the Toronto PET Users Group, next Thursday, Dec.
15 we will be having our monthly Commodore meeting. If you could
bring your uIEC, C64 keyboard and power supply as well as any
drives, (and their external power supplies) and serial cables you
were using when the failure happened, we will supply a monitor.
There will be a few of us there who will be able to help you out.
And better advise Jim as to what is going on. I just purchased a
uIEC at the WOC and I will bring it in as well.
Please check in with me and/or Leil Bloomquist when you arrive.
For more information as to where the meeting is held please visit

.
If you would like to talk with me before hand call me at
416-931-7799 after 7 pm weeknights or any time Saturdays or Sundays.

Anyone close by that might be able to help me diagnose the issue?

Unfortunately no, I don't have any cartridges. It is a new-style
C64. I'm located in Toronto in the west end in the St.Clair &
Bathurst area. RETRO Innovations wrote:

Hi,
The light on the C64 is is on yes and the red light on the
uIEC/SD is on as well?
OK, there is definitely something wrong. Do you have a old game
cartridge you can try? Sometimes, games carts will allow the
machine to boot. if so, we can rule out some components.
Is this a breadbox 64 or new-style? Where are you located?
I might just try to get you another unit from Toronto, instead of
trying to repair that unit.

Thanks

Hi,
I tried OPEN1,8,15,"CD//SOMEDIR/:SOMEGAME.D64":CLOSE1
but I didn't get a chance to try @$ yet.
When I started up my C64 today I got a blank screen and a
buzzing sound?
After restarting a few times and removing the uIEC/SD card it
still hasn't gone away?
Is the light on the C64 present when powered up?
I've never heard of the uIEC damaging a machine.
