Re: Apple 2C Question

IIC DOCTOR TO THE RESCUE!!!

First, try the internal SELF-TEST.  To activate this test, turn off the
power; then,, hold down BOTH apple-keys as you power-up.  If a
checkerboard pattern appears on the screen, then you HAVE the self-test.
After a minute of checkerboard, it will say SYSTEM OK if all is well; an
error message will appear otherwise.

If you get an error message, then spell it out to me.

Ig the checkerboard pattern fails to appear, then I can sell you an ROM
check that contains it: $4 including postage and easy-install
instructions.

MY DIAGNOSIS:   I have a _hunch_ that a RAM memory chip has burned out.
The IIc has 16 RAM chips.  Dont despair!   SHIP ME THE CPU and I will
repair it ---- Just return postage and $2 per chip installed.  If I get
stumped and cannot fix it, NO CHARGE except return shipping.
