Sinclar QL not working

Post by Galaipa »

Hello!
I have found a Sinclair QL in my grandparents house, but it doesn't work :( . I have connected it to a TV, and I get the screen below. When I press the reset problem the screen becomes white. In the IRC chat they told me that it could be a memory related problem. What can I do?

Thank you!

It looks like your PC may have a memory fault or logic fault related to memory.

Read this thread first: http://qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=502

If you are still stuck or overwhelmed there are a few good people who you could send it to for repair.

Thanks for therreply. I could only check that all the ram chips are getting 5V with a multimeter because have no scope and no Minerva rom. I think I will have to send it to someone. Do you know someone in Spain that does this things?
Or should I try to get a Minerva first?
Thx

There is a Spanish forum

http://foro.speccy.org/viewforum.php?f= ... a954f1f388

that has a nice QL section and lots of helpful and knowledgeable people. Maybe you try to look for some help there.
