The verdict is in!
TPUG owes me a white power supply - preferably one with the DC voltage closer
to +5 volts rater then the 3.7v this one has. I also changed the 6526 at
U1 (which was elready socketed) which showed as BAD on the tester, and had
the wrong time on the screen while testing. All is good as far as the 64C is
concerned.
He will try again with the uIEC, and maybe see us again at the meeting Thursday.

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
http://www.tpug.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=34&Itemid=55 ;.
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.
Tom Luff

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

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.
