I do not have personal experience, I just have read somewhere that reflowing the chips might help with artifacts on screen. Some have done this in ordinary oven.

If I may ask how did you create both the schematics and trace backgrounds (on both sides)?

This is so brilliant. It will take some time for me though. Studying for the GCIH certification takes all the spare time now.

in my both(1 TDK built converters I do have the same Sony uPC494C. They seem to be original and there is no visible marks of replacing the chip. Much later after starting this thread I began to suspect the big transformer (marked "86") is defective. It has input via the capacitors, but none of...

@Stinkerton18 Apparently I got it compiling. The key was to use the older version of sdfat, as you suggested. Now I just need to program the nano, but that is left on the weekend. Again, lots of thanks! Edit: word

Lots of thanks @Stinkerton18 I really appreciate your input here. I did clone the entire repo. I need to try with the earlier version of Greimans sdfat. I'm currently on a work trip, so I'll continue when back at home.

Thanks @Stinkerton18 for your help. I have now installed both vscode and platformio, along with library adafruit/sdfat. I did also with Greimans original(?) library, but that produced even more errors. Now when building the project I get Processing nanoatmega328 (platform: atmelavr; board...

All, I have issues compiling the code. I have installed Arduino Ide v2.3.6 on Sequoia 15.7. and to my understanding also installed the required modules. Now I'm totally inept what comes to programming, and programming a microcontroller specially. This is my first try to do something myself. I...

Anybody? Any help is appreciated.

All, I managed to de-repair the internal power converter. There are two possible issues, at least. As I had the computer open, I decided to replace the capacitors, as a precaution. I did replace the capacitors in two batches (due to some missing cap's) . On the first run I noticed that one...

Thanks. I´ll try figure it out

Thank Kay. I will give these a try.

All, I recently got myself an Apple //c with some add-ons, like external diskette drive and ... a joystick. Based on reverse image search the joystick seems to unbranded and sold with various devices. It works however, at least somehow, according to some small basic programs found on the...

I'm a bit late on the emulator game, and I do not know mini Mac at all. I have used basilisk II and that has fulfilled my (modest) needs, maybe except non working networking. According to the mini vmac faq, the difference would be in supported platforms. I just wonder whether there are any other...
