A long video covering the repair of an Atari 65XE. In this video I fix a broken key plunger, repair a membrane trace, and replace a few chips related to keyboard input. Whilst my approach took me the long way around, there’s useful stuff in here for most Atari 8 bit keyboard faults, and some of the techniques could be used in other systems.
In this video I also briefly showed some of the steps to make up your own power lead and AV cable. Pinouts of the AV and power connectors are available on the internet. I also briefly mentioned how this board revision can be upgrade to 128KB – I might do that later, but I might go for 1MB upgrade instead.
