Now you need to know one thing.
The program that is in the ROM at the very beginning configures the CRTC and GA. If you want to see how the CPC works, functional but not configured. You can turn off the ROM by applying +5V to ROMDIS. (Pin22 ROM IC103 or top end R112). And turn On CPC

OK thanks 
I will test this
For now I would like to understand and above all make my motherboard which has a black screen work.
ps: I confirm that I have 250Hz on pin14 of the GA
what can I do now?
I am disappointed...

For now you are gathering knowledge to understand what you are doing.

You fixed the clock. You started CRTC and GA. Now you know that Z80 does not execute configuration code from ROM.

yes

what I mean is that the measurements taken just before come from my functional motherboard

@Bryce 
@McArti0 
now we should test the ROM right?
Do you want the measurements of the faulty motherboard?
THANKS


McArti0

Do you have a ROM programmer and can you check the correctness of the input in it?

Quote from: McArti0 on 11:38, 22 August 24Avez-vous un programmateur ROM et pouvez-vous vérifier l'exactitude de l'entrée qu'il contient ?

oui j'ai un programmateur t48. j'ai déjà flashé un 40009 mais ça ne marche toujours pas.
je dois le tester avec le programmeur ?

Some device must tell you that the ROM contents were burned successfully.

yes it is. no worries on that side



willow3411

anyway I even have a diagROM.
and even with it I have black screen.
Also with my Dandanator black screen.

If that's the case, then something else is permanently holding an Address or Data bit high or low. Use the scope to see if there is any bit on those buses that never changes.

hi @Bryce 
hi,
Which Buses do you want to talk about?
the frequencies measured on the GA, the Z80 and the CRTC?
is that right?
THANKS

hi @McArti0 ,
Ok so if I understood correctly the frequency must not be the same at each measurement (3 times in a row is it good?)

thanks

Yes but no..
if you see flat line , that signal is suspect to be dead.
