  • C64 repairs in Bay Area

    From Niklas Lindholm@2:201/420 to All on Fri May 4 18:34:47 2018
    Hi,

    I live in Sunnyvale, CA, and I just dug up an old Commodore 64 of mine that hasn't been powered on for 10+ years. It doesn't work. :-( All I get is a black
    screen, which I understand from some googling is a pretty common problem.

    As I have seen posts here about Commodore groups in Californiia I thought I'd throw out a question here. What possibilities are there to get it repaired in Bay Area or somewhere not too far away?

    Thanks,
    /Niklas

    Have you tried a new power supply on it?
