Title: CPC 6128 FAULTY RAM
Post by: unay on 17:15, 27 February 25
Hi mates,

Does any one tell me which one is the faulty ram? Or is it more than that?

If you open the Cpc, you'll have a look at the chips.
In case the brand of your RAMs is µT, replace em all.

And isn't this a typical conflict with amsdos? 

Check if pin22 40015 is low. When the test is performed.

The Number 07 at the bottom of the Photo indicates it is "BIT 7"

Keep Safe

I couldnt find IC212 or 74LS74. And if i find them, i have no idea what am i gonna do with them.

Edit: Btw i tried to piggyback on every single upper side, there is no change on test. The result is the same.

Can happen but best to run a soak test, as I have had a second IC fail sometime later.

Could of course just be a random failure. They don't need much convincing to fail! :D

Yeap, just one ram. Before changing i try the piggyback method, check the heat of rams etc but non of them works.
As a final resort i change the IC126.
And i also run the soak test as well.
There's no problem.
