Wintermute_BBSToday, I picked up my loose ends with regards to the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Czerweny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Czerweny</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/CZSpectrumPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CZSpectrumPlus</a>, the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rare</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ZXSpectrumPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ZXSpectrumPlus</a> clone from mid-1980s <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Argentina" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Argentina</a>.Since I was unable to remove the ICs myself (did they use "nuclear solder" back in the day?! Those ICs sat tight in their holes) I asked a friend who had a friend who was up to the job and very professionally removed these at his workshop.So today I soldered sockets in place and prepared a <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Diagnostic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Diagnostic</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ROM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ROM</a> in order to find out what the problem is. Looks bad.I have already replaced all "lower" RAM chips with new ones, leaving the "upper" RAM as they were.However, given that *all* memory seems to be faulty, I now expect the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ZX8401" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ZX8401</a> to be the problem. So now I need to get either one of those modern drop-in replacements or start hunting a real one ...On the up side, video is working and the beeper is beeping. At least.<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ZXSpectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ZXSpectrum</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Repair</a>

Wintermute_BBSI am currently in the process of re-structuring my <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroComputer</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/collection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#collection</a>, swapping individual devices with a collegue of mine. As a result, there's this new entry, the "CZ Spectrum plus" - a <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ZXSpectrumPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ZXSpectrumPlus</a> clone from <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Argentina" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Argentina</a> !!<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/CZSpectrumPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CZSpectrumPlus</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ZXSpectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ZXSpectrum</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Sinclair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sinclair</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Clone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Clone</a>

ShredThis ZX Spectrum Plus was an upgrade, and gave me quite a headache with its poor picture quality. <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/blogpost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#blogpost</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Repair</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Retro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Retro</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ZXSpectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ZXSpectrum</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ZXSpectrumPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ZXSpectrumPlus</a> - <a href="https://shred.zone/cilla/page/487/zx-spectrum-plus-repair.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://shred.zone/cilla/page/487/zx-spectrum-plus-repair.html</a>
