strange problem with my Spectrum
ZXNet echo conference «hardware.zx»
From Yura Yakimuk → To All 19 August 2001
Hello All!
Please tell me:
all tests crash (in turbo firmware from 1991), and after resetting the screen
filled with flickering noise reminiscent of multicolor (or something like that when
The CPU signal is not soldered into the memory expansion circuit). What's the strangest thing, NEW
normalizes the picture. clear, out on all ports with different numbers - nothing
gives.
The memory test is successful, in TEST 4.22 garbage appears when
The DATA test starts and the drive turns on (What kind of test is this anyway?). C
50/50 chance it either freezes after a few seconds of garbage on the screen, or
is reset, and the picture, as I already said, is dirty until you press reset
or new.
SYS.TEST is reset somewhere in the AY test area (where these tests pass very well
quickly and it’s impossible to keep track of which one crashes).
Some programs work fine, some have garbage on the screen (for example, in 3x
color graph. in the editor the pictures are displayed normally, but when clicking on
"help" icon, the text becomes unreadable.
Tell me where to dig? I’m already completely exhausted over this firewood.
Sincerely, Yura AKA d00RsFan
