Part two of this C64 repair is finally here. In part one (Oct 9, 2020) I tried fixing a black screen faulty Commodore 64C retro computer from 1986. In this episode I try out some of the suggestions I got in the comments from from part 1.
However it was a hard case, so I asked my friend Kjell Ove for help. He is an electronics expert with experience in actual Commodore repairs from back in the days. He visits in this video and gives an expert analysis about the issue, and how he fixed it.

I found an old Commodore 1541 floppy drive for cheap. It did not work. When sending load command to it, the computer just shows "Searching for..." forever. In this video I attempt to repair it. I also do the regular cleaning stuff.

The follow-up to part 1. I attempt to repair and restore an extremely yellowed and not working Commodore 128 (black screen). The machine does not power on, can I fix it in this episode?
Also some corrosion has to be removed, and then the recapping is done.

A modern 8-bit computer in 2023? Is it good and what can it be used for ? Long review.
PCBWay https://www.pcbway.com/setinvite.aspx?inviteid=481573 - great quality PCBs from just $5!
The Byte Attic just released a new version of the Agon Light 8-bit computer and sent me one for review. This is a great little computer with very impressive architecture and specs. The community around this computer is now growing and a lot of progress made.
In this video I do a review of the computer, the software and games it can run, and how to program it to interface with other electronics via it's GPIO ports.
Thanks to Bernardo for sending me this :)
