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.

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.
