Thanks, a friend bought a c64

For now I only have a small image around the 6569...

According to this small image it's either

or

or

I don’t see enough to tell the differences between these boards..

I've forwarded the questions


Thanks

Lots of them... But first I would need some information:

Board Assy No?

Voltages are OK?

Any MOS-TTLs on it? Those are the small ICs with a MOS logo and a number
starting with '77'.

Any IC getting hot?

What kind of RAMs does the board use? Maker?

If you could supply a picture of the board that's good enough to be able to
read the writings on the ICs, that would really help.

The usual suspect, unless it's a 250469 board which uses the larg 64pin IC,
is the PLA. If it's socketed, try it in a working board.

And quite often trying the following will give you some hints. You can use
the ROM cartridge without all the wires for basic testing.
