From total failure to gaming perfection: the incredible ZX Spectrum Plus repair story

time2 yr agoview4 views

Join me as I take you through the repair process of a ZX Spectrum Plus computer. In this episode, I replace faulty RAM chips, clean the keyboard using an ultrasonic cleaner, and test the machine with various games, including Manic Miner and Chucky Egg. I also receive a lower RAM module from Retroeleum and plan to replace the keyboard membrane. Despite encountering some difficulties, including a total failure of all the lower RAM ICs, I manage to get the computer working well. Don't miss this episode of my ZX Spectrum repair series!
