Re: GS64 needs repair

I checked the filters and there was one with a short. But it was not the
filter itself. On the solder side of the PCB was a small blob of tin that
shorted the filter. I removed it and the GS is working perfectly now.

This is a photo of the pcb:

I don't think this Games System 64 ever worked perfectly, I do not know
where it came from. I was asked by the Dutch Commodore user group to
repair it.

Thank you all for the help!

Richard
