This is going to be the first in a multipart video as this became one big repair. When you turned the Commodore on, you just got a screen of interference. I remembered what had caused it to break, it was an action replay cartridge either being knocked or just malfunctioning. What I forgot was that back in the mid 1990s, I tried to fix it with what looks like a blow torch!

In this video we see the problem, take it apart, pull none existent hair out but finally get memory looking good again.

I don't remember damaging the keys or trying to repair them and I have a vague recolection of swapping out my keyboard with a broken one. The keyboard fix is for another video.
