After taking it apart and cleaning, it was already looking fantastic, but would it actually turn on!<br/><br/>It was obvious the internal fuse had gone, so replaced this and joy of joys it showed the beautiful blue C64 screen and then proceeded to load a cartridge game too!<br/><br/>#retrogaming #retrocomputing #c64<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/922/732/959/396/089/original/8d527db24940949c.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/922/732/704/916/707/original/1ec71c5fafe2f164.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-08-07T21:02:44Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2y4zcpmn937kvcn8l43wshqe2tz7ev64gn2cplg3dcngznxczn7gzyr30ntz2fdkkkd7lk5e89qf9ykjkkdhux75a62ptx6uvpzmrkc67zuqy6jd The Amstrad CPC464 is over 40 years old and one of the components that breaks easily is the tape counter reset button.<br/><br/>However, thanks to the world of 3D printing (and a willing volunteer who was kind enough to print it!), my problem is solved.<br/><br/>The original button was black, and yet this blue gives me the CPC464 feels regardless.
