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

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
Jim

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.
