Thank you for letting me join this Forum.
I've been meaning and wanting to work on my stuff for a while and finally got time and space.
Started off with my OG Xbox as they notoriously suffer from a leaking clock cap. And, well, its not as important to me as my other things.
Got very lucky with the xbox...
"I wonder if my A540 has something similar....... oh no!!" I'm kicking myself for not realizing / knowing
Been lurking here for a week or two and have learnt a lot! Thank you so much for sharing so much info.
Batt is out of the A540 and done a first small clean. But I didn't want to go any further until I sharpened up my skills. So last week I bought a A3010. Has batt damage but happy to report that I managed to get it to boot this evening (after finding a hairline fracture on La(20) just south of C110)
I'll be back on the A540 asap. I may be reaching out for advise, if that is ok? I really don't want to muck the A540 up as it was my dad's and probably my first foray into 'programming' - CoCo etc. Have already imaged the hard drive and ran it on an emulator - weird seeing my school homework again after nearly 30 years!
If there is anything information I can provide from the A540, or the A3010 for that matter, that would be useful to anyone then please let me know.
Thanks
Paul
