So along with the dead 3000 that Im trying to ressurect, I also have a 1000 that im trying to ressurect.
Does the usual stuff, turn it on, screen flickers for a second, stays black, never changes. The Panel LED stays on solid, never flashes.
The keyboard LED flashes once on startup and that's it.
Ive removed and reseated all the chips, the daughter card, swapped the CIA controllers, tried both a 1084S monitor and a RGB.. Nothing
I did check the power supply, and Im seeing +12v and +5v on the rail, so that seems ok. No leaky capacitors.
There is some weird stuff inside that Ive discovered though,
First of all, the underside of the 1000 says "Refurbished by Commodore",
and inside on the daughter card I found this with a piece of electrical tape over it.
I desoldered it and tried it again, still nothing, so I re-soldered it back
Also there's a switch attached that I have no idea about:
It attaches here:
Anyway, ive spent many hours on this thing, I want to see it work but Im fresh out of ideas...
HELP!!
