Join me today, as I attempt to repair not one, but two Sinclair QL computers: one with a white screen on startup, and the other one with a solid green screen. This is a system that is completely new to me, so it will be an opportunity for all of us to learn the system together and see how to tackle a repair without previous system-specific knowledge or tools.
