ZX-128 broke down
ZXNet echo conference «hardware.zx»
From Sergey Cherbynin → To All 19 February 2003
Greetings, All!
Help whoever can. One person burned Speck, instead of 5v he supplied 12v (wires
confused). As a result, the following burned out: the processor, half of the VG (reads, but does not write),
memory, AC remained intact, I don’t know about the ROM (there’s nowhere to check).
I changed the processor, replaced all the memory, and took out a test ROM.
I turn it on, the border on the screen is normal, and in the center on a white background there are 4 black ones
parallel stripes, wide at the top, then 2 narrow, wide again at the bottom.
When you remove the ROM and processor, nothing changes.
Tell me where to dig next?
Thanks in advance!
All the best, All!
Best wishes *** Sergey ***!

Check the memory access node.
Address multiplexers (KP11), read buffer (IR23),
circuits for generating write/read signals (see for yourself ;)
But first, pull out the percentage and check the levels of Sinhalese at all
contacts.
There must be a Z-state on the address bus,
the same on all outputs of the processor,
on the data bus - "1".
The clock frequency must be supplied to the RESET, INT inputs
and NMI the correct signals must be given.
When you achieve all this by standing up a stone, but without ROM.
The processor should immediately try to write bytes into memory.Ideally, a “mattress” of vertical
white lines on a black background.
But if there is such a “mattress” or something similar - then
and insert the ROM.
