[net.micro.cbm] Repair Suggestions

ajc@uiucuxc.UUCP (12/20/84)

 
My C64 version III is sick. It boots as far as the forground/background
colors, but nevers gets to the commodore banner/ready state. It has been
traced to the PLA chip (#1 suspect at least). Has anyone ever bought a
PLA from commodore? Is this possible? The only possibility that I've
heard for repair seems to be to send the entire machine to commodore,
and for $75 they will send you a new one (what a deal, huh?). As you
might have guessed, it is out of warrenty. 

All suggestions and relevant experiences are welcome.

thanks in advance..
