Re: Hello from France

Thank you all for your answers. It is clear now. I had time to install the new membrane, without further cleaning (I will do it later). The new screws from Derek fit perfectly, thanks again Derek :) I plugged my new SCART cable and switched on the QL. Pressed F2 and here we go, the QL is working per...

Re: Hello from France

Thank you for your kind offer. Membrane is on its way (it comes from Retrocable in Spain and they took additional time to make some cables). To be perfectly clear I have the 4 standard microdrives (Quill, Archive, Abacus and Easel) but only one game. I have also 3 mircrodrives without label: so I ne...

Re: Hello from France

Hi Chr$, Hi Derek, The TDI seems to be a nice extension, exactly what I expected. I will watch Tetroid comeback on Sellmyretro. The membrane is allready ordered with other stuff but this time from Retrocables in Spain. I have the metal plate. Only the screws are missing. For the case I need also one...

Re: Hello from France

Ok. I found why the keyboard does not work: the membrane is missing :D

Re: Hello from France

Thank you for your welcome. My QL is a QWERTY one. The serial number is D09-022755 (I don't know if it is significant). So yesterday, I checked the PSU, no problem, then I plugged the QL on my TV in UHF. The orange LED light on and I search for a display. In automatic search, my TV found a good imag...

Hello from France

Hi,
I am Patrick from Clermont-Ferrand in France.
I just got today a shiny Sinclair QL and I registered to find more information about it.
After some readings, I think that it is safe to switch it on.
I will just check the PSU before.
A nice addition to my collection :D.
Regards,
