Hello Ruud and Marko.
Well, I was very fortunate! What had happened was, when I unsoldered
the metal shield of the C64 to do some other work on the board, I had made
a mistake in soldering a bridge accross (I think it was FB8) to the
metal shield, which grounded it. No damage was done as far as I can tell,
and all seems to works well now. Thanks for your help!
Henry.
PS.
I converted this NTSC C64 to a PAL, and everything works good except
I cannot get color. I have a 1084S monitor which can display both NTSC and
PAL modes. Any idea as to why I cannot get color?
