IIc Keyboard Encoder broken?

Submitted by twitch on December 16, 2020 - 12:30pm

Antoher day another broken IIC ;)

 

I bought a european version - It boots and gives me a "System OK" with Rom4x but i cant use the keyboard.

 

it reads the keys multiple times - like if i press "W" it prints "WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW" ... 

I reseated all ICs and sprayed with contact cleaner. I swapped the original 255 Rom and checked all the traces around the keyboard encoder and so on...

oh and tried another keyboard...

 

any ideas? easy fix?

I never realized they made this! [Apple II paint matching]

Submitted by jwg1962 on December 15, 2020 - 8:43pm

So I have been around for quite a while in the Apple II world and have worked for dealers when I was a young pup in college and I have never seen one of these.  Did I just miss out, or is this a "modern day"  creation?

Troubleshooting IIc disk drive questions

Submitted by icase.81 on December 15, 2020 - 1:53pm

I just got a IIc yesterday, and it came with a disk that has "The Apple at Work" on it. At first, it loaded but I got some corruption at places. I then patially disassembled the whole computer, cleaned the disk head and put it mostly back together. Disk worked perfectly after that. I took it out, tossed it onto my desk and fully disassembled the computer and REALLY cleaned everything, but didn't touch the disk drive since it was working fine. Put it back together again, and the computer works fine, but the disk just spins and the access light stays on forever.

10MB Profile Drive Questions

Submitted by eackerman on December 15, 2020 - 11:09am

Hello Everyone,

I am in the process of recapping the power supply for my 10MB Profile HD to try to get it working again.  About 10 years ago when it was lasted plugged in the magic smoke came out of the back of the drive.  One of the bypass .01uf caps is broken in two so I suspect it was the smoker.

Hi Everyone,

Apple IIc turned yellow

Submitted by Seeker on December 12, 2020 - 2:52pm

Hi everyone. I have 2 Apple IIc's. The one I use more or less often and is in my house has maintained its color pretty well. The seond one I have, which was stored in the Attic, inside bubble wrap packaging has turned yellow! How can this happen since it doesn't have any contact with the Sun's rays?
