  1. Nothing looks broken. Stock C128.

    I get some garbage characters in LOADING messages now and then, but it might be state related, not sure if it is a real problem.

  4. Now we're talking. Now I just need some help soldering the switchless switch things. I do think I prefer the one with a physical switch, even if it means drilling in the case.

  7. *That* looks weird. I connected a USB gamepad through a mouSTer *and* a C64-joyport adapter I got with the machines, and all gamepad directions also trigger a set of keypresses that I don't see with a regular joystick..

  10. I found a seller of 4464s on eBay in a France and ordered two. I popped one of the ones that came from China and put one in, and now the #Fixteen works! So now I have two "Minus 4"s!

    That means I have a spare 4464 in case one of the others break down later.

  13. Looks like the #LumaFix64 and #RetroScaler2x do NOT like each other. That's not how it is supposed to look like. No matter how much I adjusted the pots.

    Tried in both my working C64s, same result.

  16. Dear #Commmodore hw repair community, any tips on where to look to fix a broken paddle? One in the pair is working, the other just reports two or three values. I opened it but cannot see any damage.

  19. Sometimes it shows garbage on start, sometimes just a black screen. I'll leave it in, disabled.

  24. Uh oh, that is not good. The second unit gives me a black screen with the expansion installed. I pushed in the RAM chips and got some junk on the screen instead.

    Moving the jumper to 16K makes it boot up again, so at least I didn't kill the TED chip (I *did* bend its legs slightly on extraction, so I was worried).

    So, are the RAM chips on the Fixteen bag, or the assembly? I have no clue. I'll lend it in, but turned off. At least the other one works fine.
