ZX Spectrum 48k Hot Chip Memory Fail

Listen Later

In this video, I dive into a Sinclair ZX Spectrum Issue 6A repair that's suffering from strange screen colors. Watch along as I perform standard multimeter and circuit diagnostics, hunt down failing 4116 DRAM chips using a thermal camera, track down a bad 100uF capacitor, replace a faulty speaker, and attempt to revive a stubborn keyboard membrane.

If you'd like to help keep the lights on (and the tools plugged in),

my Patreon is the best way to do it. Patrons get ad-free early access
to videos, behind-the-scenes updates, and entry to a super secret
Discord channel — plus my sincere gratitude, which is worth roughly
what you'd expect.

I also have another channel called More Fun Making It, where I build

things from scratch instead of trying to coax life back into them.
Same shed, different end of the workbench.

There's also the Retro Hardware Discord, where people who enjoy this

sort of thing gather to talk about it. It's better than it has any
right to be.
