I bought this system used, here is what I fixed:
- Had a leaking varta battery. I pulled the battery and board from case, cleaned everything up and installed a coin cel holder and battery.
It was only recognizing 1 meg of chip ram, but had 2 installed. Fixed with replacing 1MB with new set of 1MB chip ram.
It had 2 floppies installed, one was dead, and it has been replaced with a gotek.
I have the original scsi drive, but have a scsi2sd type device installed.
The flicker fixer circuit works, but has some artifacts that come across as horizontal sparkles and screen corruption. I have not bothered to try and fix it but it seems similar to this issue, not as bad though: https://www.tsb.space/knowledge-base/a3 ... djustment/.
Regular non-flicker fixed output works fine, so I suspect the memory chips for the flicker fixer service are bad. I may even have already bought the chips just hadn't bothered to replace them yet.
