Re: Zeddy displaying wrong characters on screen
In the spirit of quick checks I have plugged in my ChromaSCART. With the onboard RAM switched off I get the display issue. With the onboard RAM switched on I still get the display issue.

Re: Zeddy displaying wrong characters on screen
I recall, along time ago, that I had a similar problem and replacing the voltage regulator fixed the problem. I got this idea from a forum posting but I can't find it. Not being a hardware guy I have no idea why the voltage regulator would garble the display, but replacing it worked for me. Regards...

Re: Zeddy displaying wrong characters on screen
It arrived like this yesterday. Sold as untested (as usual).
I haven’t had time to get technical yet - just a few minutes to try some high level stuff at lunch time.

Re: Zeddy displaying wrong characters on screen
Don't forget, with 16K bytes of RAM, you get a fully expanded display file, and it can be in a different position in RAM. Have you tried changing the ULA? Mark I will be looking for a spare later on thanks. If I type in a program that takes up most of the 1K and it doesn’t corrupt would that prove ...

Re: Zeddy displaying wrong characters on screen
I will check inside the keyboard sockets just in case but it does the same with just the Memotech keyboard connected.

I got a zeddy and it does this: https://www.sinclairzxworld.com/viewtopic.php?p=54578#p54578 When you type using either the built in keyboard or my Memotech keyboard it does not show all of the characters you are typing correctly.
