Default Re: Commodore PET 3016

Hi, I have had the sockets replaced. A couple of things:
1. Plugged it in last night and all seemed to work fine. Didn't try the sound though.
2. Switched in on this morning and nothing! I swapped the 6520s around and it worked! I don't think it's got anything to do with them though.
3. I'm running it now to see how it is performing and all seems well.

However, I tried loading a program I saved before the sockets were replaced and although it loads the program, the pet hands a the 'Ready' prompt and I have to switch it off and on. It will load however, ready prepared software e.g. I am playing Space Invaders right now and it loaded first time etc.

It all seems to be working well. I tried the sound again this morning and same isssue. Can you help with the next step? Infuritaing thing is - the sound was working from CB2 well! Could it be a damaged resistor or capacitor somewhere??

Best wishes,
John
