I repair a Canadian (made in USA) black screen Commodore C64c that was kindly donated to me recently. Turns out to be a simple but interesting fault (no spoilers)... I also replace a key stem that was broken off.

Here's some handy resources I refer to when troubleshooting and repairing C64s:

The Pictorial C64 Fault Guide is here: http://derbian.webs.com/c64diag/

Ray Carlsen's troubleshooting and repair guides are here: http://personalpages.tds.net/~rcarlsen/cbm.html

You can get the .bin files for various C64 diagnostics cartridges from World of Jani (in case you want to make your own or try in an emulator): http://blog.worldofjani.com/?p=164

Here's the GitHub with Sven's diagnostics harness: https://github.com/svenpetersen1965/C64-Diagnostic-Rev.-586220-Harness
