Title: Emulator II blank display
Post by: lazzarus on April 27, 2013, 12:24:08 PM
When I switch on my Emulator II, the display shows the first row black and many led on. The drive doesn't start or rotate .... Does it's possible to repair it with any procedures ?? if you tell me some information I can do the work ...

it's difficult to apply the seat of chips ... but the chips seems to be cleaned , is there no a method more reliable and simple ?

I did it with an electric toothbrush and isopropyl alcohol. Sounds a bit funny, but worked out well.
