Thank you for an excellent video. You really have shown me a lot ! The reset mod is ingenious, and the tool you found and shared is invaluable and will save me hours of tracing time. By the way, I once, just once, bought an untested board that actually worked ! But most end up in my fix-it pile.
Thank You very much. Yes, sometimes You get lucky with untested machines and have just a simple fix, in most cases, it's properly dead :) I just published a new version of the reset circuit :) Cheers!
Nice video. Question, taking the reset to low, basically is making a short? That is a doubt I have. Reset line is always at 5v, so linking it to gnd makes a short right and produce the reset. Is this safe?
Yes it is; that is how reset button works :) Reset line is not a power line, it's a signal line. It can be high or low. I do have a new version of this little circuit ruclips.net/video/J8r-5bH86pA/видео.html Thank You for watching :) Cheers!
I know how you feel :) At 3:16 (ruclips.net/video/Y6tYIzj0WqE/видео.htmlsi=Jk4c6n2tGfB2JpiP&t=196) the first trace to the left of the pins. It was cracked but it was not visible with a naked eye. On this image is already fixed. If u can't see it (find it), use interactive bom to test all lines :) well depends on the issue.
@@JosipRetroBitsOh, I'm sorry. I can see it in the video, I was just wondering where ON THE BOARD is it? Near logic? ROMs? VIC? thank you. Oh and interactive BOM is fantastic.. It's everything I wish C64 Parts locator was. Although, that's very nice too

@@JosipRetroBits oh ok, I'm making a switch with arduno and I had that doubt. Not sure if was safe to reset that way. Thank you!
@@rafaelmmartinez9170 Any time :)
Where was the broken trace at? I'm going through something similar rn and about to pull my hair out.. lol Nice Video BTW!
