Thank you for an excellent video. You really have shown me a lot ! The reset mod is ingenious, and the tool you found and shared is invaluable and will save me hours of tracing time. By the way, I once, just once, bought an untested board that actually worked ! But most end up in my fix-it pile.
Thank You very much. Yes, sometimes You get lucky with untested machines and have just a simple fix, in most cases, it's properly dead :) I just published a new version of the reset circuit :) Cheers!
Nice video. Question, taking the reset to low, basically is making a short? That is a doubt I have. Reset line is always at 5v, so linking it to gnd makes a short right and produce the reset. Is this safe?
Yes it is; that is how reset button works :) Reset line is not a power line, it's a signal line. It can be high or low. I do have a new version of this little circuit th-cam.com/video/J8r-5bH86pA/w-d-xo.html Thank You for watching :) Cheers!
I know how you feel :) At 3:16 (th-cam.com/video/Y6tYIzj0WqE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Jk4c6n2tGfB2JpiP&t=196) the first trace to the left of the pins. It was cracked but it was not visible with a naked eye. On this image is already fixed. If u can't see it (find it), use interactive bom to test all lines :) well depends on the issue.
@@JosipRetroBitsOh, I'm sorry. I can see it in the video, I was just wondering where ON THE BOARD is it? Near logic? ROMs? VIC? thank you. Oh and interactive BOM is fantastic.. It's everything I wish C64 Parts locator was. Although, that's very nice too
Excellent video and work! Very cool! Thanks for sharing
Thank you Rudy! Cheers!

Great video, love the video camera at the end
Thanks! Camera is so bad that it's awesome :) ha ha
Nice job. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thank You. There is a ver.2 with a simpler design :) Cheers!
Spot on mate .. Great work .. Thanks for sharing it :) ...
Thank You Steve :) Cheers!

@@JosipRetroBits oh ok, I'm making a switch with arduno and I had that doubt. Not sure if was safe to reset that way. Thank you!
@@rafaelmmartinez9170 Any time :)
Where was the broken trace at? I'm going through something similar rn and about to pull my hair out.. lol Nice Video BTW!
