Re: Misbehaving Apple II+ -- Help!



Hello,

Yes.

> 2.  Are there other likely sources of failure?
Yes, a lot ! The good news is that the video generator is still working.
The bad news is that the 6502 is not initialized. There is several
troubleshooting guides.
You can take a look at the Apple II Documentation Project
(http://mirrors.apple2.org.za/Apple%20II%20Documentation%20Project/Computers
/Apple%20II/Manuals/). The "Apple II Level I Service Manual 1982" is a good
starter (section 3). You will also find very valuable informations in the
"Apple II Level II Service Manual 1981" (from page 155 and particularly page
164 in your case).

> 3.  Are new 6502s available if that's the problem?
Absolutely. $5.95 at Jameco for example.
