🛠️ Join me today as I test out for the first time, an original 80s Apple lle Computer. But first it is in need of an urgent repair.
🟣 Firstly, I open it up to remove what I believe to be the source of the problem, the power supply unit. To find that one of the notorious RIFA caps has gone pop. So, to be safe I de-solder them both and solder in some compatible replacements.
🟣 Then it is the moment of truth, testing to see if the Apple 2 computer still works. Luckily, it turns on, so i have a little go at writing a simple BASIC program, and even try to load a game as well, with my newly acquired Floppy Emu disk emulator.
🟣 Alas, it seem the ram in the machine may be faulty, so after doing some memory checks I call it a day, and prepare to order in the necessary part for a second part to this video.
