After wanting one for ages, I've finally picked up a Commodore PET 2001
Unfortunately, it doesn't work...
The previous owner said that it was working a couple of years ago, but he then put it in his garage... and now it boots weirdly.
I do get characters on the screen, but only one single line in the centre.
Also, if I switch the PET on, the screen will flicker and then go off. If it quickly flick it ON-OFF-ON it will stay on.
Any ideas? I have tried removing/replacing all socketed chips, but no change.
Can anyone tell me the voltage pinouts on the PSU (Euro 240V).
Also, can anyone tell me the exact model of PET? It's lost it's spec label on the back. It's also badges as as "CBM 2001" which I haven't seen before.
