Title: 464 display problem
Post by: willow3411 on 17:57, 30 October 22
hello,
My cpc 464 has a display problem (see photo)
I changed the Z80, the GA 40007, the CRTC, the ROM 40009, the AY and the RAMs
always the same problem.
do you have an idea ?
thank you in advance
willow

Since the same byte is output twice, I would suspect a defective multiplexer (74LS153). In this case most likely IC105.

by the way
I have a question so I don't fall asleep stupid tonight.
to test a 74ls153 multiplexer you absolutely need an oscilloscope?
thanks

No, a logic analyser would be the correct instrument to use.

@Fessor 

It's ok for ic105

everything is ok for me

I like to learn something - so opportunity for me here to ask:

How did you identify IC105 specifically from the picture? 

I mean there are 4 74LS153. 

Is that because IC105 is working on A0 and it could be only that A0 is allways 1 (instead of switching)?

Yes, that was what I assumed.
Since only the byte at the odd address was repeated and everything else was correctly addressed and displayed, only A0 came into question for read access from the CRTC/GA and since the CRTC and GA had already been exchanged, it could only have been the multiplexer.

Since the multiplexer is said to have been OK, I would be interested to know what the error was.

I think @willow3411 meant, that he replaced IC105 and it is now okay?

Can you please confirm what the final solution was for others to learn from it?

Thanks
