Commodore 64 Repair - Psychedelic Colors
About this video
Why does a bread-bin Commodore 64 flash psychedelic characters? The repair goes through a colour RAM swap, a PLA replacement and a sticking shift lock key, then a round of tests.
Good to know: Desoldering chips means burns and fumes; old solder contains lead.
Why watch it
Timestamps show two machines and a second job on the keyboard, so the colour fault is not the only repair. The colour RAM swap starts at 02:00.
