C64 repairs in Bay Area [message #367280] Fri, 04 May 2018 02:34 Go to next message

Hi,

I live in Sunnyvale, CA, and I just dug up an old Commodore 64 of mine that
hasn't been powered on for 10+ years. It doesn't work. :-( All I get is a black
screen, which I understand from some googling is a pretty common problem.

As I have seen posts here about Commodore groups in Californiia I thought I'd
throw out a question here. What possibilities are there to get it repaired in
Bay Area or somewhere not too far away?

Thanks,
/Niklas

Have you tried a new power supply on it?
