Hi
Fixing up broken Spectrums - at least that was my plan - got an 'issue 2' Speccy working last night after much time of enjoying the life that it had I managed to short circuit something on the board with my multi-mete.
Now all I've got is static on the RF video out...
I wasn't aware of which component I touched when it gave up - but I guess I've learnt a lesson - I didn't realise they would be so sensitive!
Any ideas what I could possibly have fried? - voltages OK on 7805 voltages regulator & RAM.
Best Regards,
Spurtus.
