Greetings All,
I have recently become the proud owner of a 2001 and I am having strange issues with it. At first we thought it was a simple failed CPU or bad video ram as I was getting sing characters filling up my screen. So a nice fellow named Mark over on the PET facebook group sold me a few solid upgrades which I had planned on doing anyway and would likely help fix my issues, two birds stoned in the bush at once or something to that affect. Anyway after some trouble shooting I have come to find that the video rom appears to be working fine, as is the CPU (tested in an apple ii) so the only replacement part I have installed is the video ram upgrade. I will post some photos below. When the PET is first turned on, I get the standard random character screen but the CPU doesn't appear to reset and it just hangs on the character screen. Any thought on how I should proceed? I have been in IT for well over 20 years but I am not an electronics expect but I can manage.
Thanks Everyone!
Cheers,
Ryan
