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

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.
