A bit of background - I first got a Commodore Pet when I was 15 in 1979 and it started me off on what I laughingly call my career. I spent amny a long night typing in programs from magazines in the UK and working out what was wrong with them and learnt a great deal and learnt to be inquisitive too.
Therefore, I couldn't resist buying a non-working Pet locally (well, two and a half hours away) in Scotland for twenty five pounds. It has power - I can hear it. The monitor is getting power - I can see it glow orange at the back. All I need to do is get it booting........
So far - nothing on the screen at all.
I'm starting from scratch. My electronics limits stretch to taking out chips and re-seating them. I can solder. I have a multi-meter.
Can someone point me off in the right direction to start please? I know I;m being vague about symptoms, but that's because I don't really have any.
Thanks for any advice.
