I measured the CN1 on the powwer supply board. PIN 6 should be 5V OK PIN 3 should be -5V OK PIN 4 should be 5V OK PIN 5 should be GND OK PIN 12 should be 5V OK PIN 16 should be 6V Not OK (-0,1 / -0,2V) PIN 18 should be 9V OK Not OK (6,7V) I measured with a simple cheap multimeter between GND

Thanks Steve, Tried cliping it out - same issue. Just black screen  (screen full of black pixels) Tried replace the ROM Chip - same. Will try to replace the cap. Thanks On Fri, 2021-10-22 at 09:32 -0400, Stephen Adolph wrote: > can you just clip it out and carry on? > > On Fri, Oct 22, 2021

Pawel, Black screen usually indicates a deeper problem than a cap. +5V good? -5V good? activity on the CLK signal at the processor? check that data and address are toggling @ the main ROM and RAM sockets? pull and reseat ROM and RAM modules? just a few suggestions. Do you have something like a

It's unlikely that the missing capacitor would cause a no-boot fault that occurs 100% of the time. These capacitors are designed to provide a path to ground for the switching noise coming from the adjacent logic chips. This is good design, but very often not strictly necessary; I would expect your
