Today I tackle what was supposed to be a simple black-screen repair of a Commodore 64, and it turned into the ugliest repair I have ever done. If you're looking for a clean, efficient repair where all the loose ends are nicely tied together, you won't find that here. Go check out some of my other videos instead 😃
I still decided to turn it into a video because I think we can all learn things from this, even if it's not the prettiest one. I hope you get something out of it like I did.
