In the latest episode of the More Fun Fixing It channel, the host successfully repaired a malfunctioning Commodore 64. Using diagnostic tools like DesTestMAX and Dead Test cartridges, they identified and replaced a faulty PLA, CIA, and RAM chip. The repair process included removing a stubborn U24 chip with partially clipped legs and re-seating the PLA chip due to socket issues. The keyboard was disassembled and cleaned with IPA and Kimtech wipes, restoring unresponsive keys. Finally, 3D-printed case clips were epoxied in place, securing the case. After reassembly, the Commodore 64 booted flawlessly, with all components and keys functioning correctly, marking another successful restoration on the channel.
