TROUBLESHOOTING
SELF-TEST
The Computer has a bullt.in selttest. To get the self-test
‘menu, hold the Option key down while turning the Com.
puter On or type the word BYE and press the Return key if
the Computer is already On and in Basic. Press the Select,
key to solect the desired test, the Start key to start the test,
and the Help key to go back to the self-test menu or the
Reset key to go back to Basic. The self-test will check the
ROM and RAM memory, audio, video and keyboard circuits.
When the Memory test is run, two bars will appear which
Fepresent the Operating System ROM IC (US), then 48
‘squares will appear, each square representing 1k of RAM
Ids (U9 thru Ute), While the HOM or RAM Is being teste,
the color of the bar or square will be white, then change to
‘een ifthe ROM or RAM is good or red if the ROM or RAM
|e bad.
When the Audio-Visual test Is run, a music staff and treble
let will appear on the screen. A tune of six tones is produc-
ed with the corresponding note appearing on the screen
‘when that note is played. Sound channels 1 thru 4 Pokey IC
(U22) are tested. An audio defect is indicated by a note aj
pearing on the screen with no sound. A video defect ANTIC.
IC (U7) and GTIA IC (U17) Is indicated by @ tone sounding
with no note appearing on the screen,
When the Keyboard test is run, the keyboard layout is
displayed on the screen. When a key Is pressed the cor.
responding key on the screen should change to inver
video and a tone should sound, The Control and Shift keys
will work only when pressed along with another key. All
keys except the Reset, Help and Break keys are tested. IC's
UI? and U22 are tested.
POWER SUPPLY
‘Unplug the Power Pack and check for 5.0V from pin 3to pin
1 of Plug P7. If .0V is missing check Plug P7 and the cable
for possible open circuits. if the Plug P7 and cable check
‘g00d replace the Power Pack. Before plugging the new
Power Pack into the Computer, check for a possible short
from pin 3 to pin 4 of Jack J? with the Power Switch (S1) in
the On position
If the Power Pack checks good, plug it into the Computer,
tum the Computer On and check for 5.0V on the positive
end of Electrolytic C2. If 5.0V is missing check the Power
Switch (81).
MICROPROCESSOR (CPU) OPERATION
Check the operation of the Reset Circuit at pin 8 of IC U19.
Pin 8 should read a logic Low momentarily, then go logic
igh and stay High when the Computer Is turned On or the
Reset key is pressed. If the Reset reading Is not correct,
‘check Electrolytic C49, Diode CR1, Resistors R39 and R40
and IC U18.
Verity the operation of the Clock Circuits by checking for a
1.78977MHz clock waveform at pin 11 of IC UIB. If the
waveform is missing or off frequency refer to the “Clock
and DIVIDERS" section of this Troubleshooting guide,
‘Check for pulses on the Address pins (pins 9 thru 20 and 22
thru 25) and Data pins (pins 26 thru 33) of the CPU IC (Ua). If
pulses are missing or one pin appears to be stuck at a logic
Low or High, turn the Computer Off, remove IC UB, turn the
‘Computer back On and recheck the Address and Data pins.
‘The Address pins should read a logic Open and the Data
pins a logic High. Also, if pulses are missing with IC UB in
the Computer, check for pulses on the Data pins (pins 26
‘thru 33) of IC UB while turning the Computer On or pressing
the Reset key. If pulses appear, then suddenly stop, check
the Address Decoder IC (U2), Memory Management Unit IC
(U3), Operating System and Basic ROM IC's (U4 and Us) and
‘CPU IC (U8). TROUBLESHOOTING (Continued)

BS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Use an isolation transformer for servicing.
2. Maintain AG line voltage at rated input.
3. Remove power from the Computer before servicing or installing electrostatically sensitive devices. Examples of typical
ES devices are integrated circuits and semiconductor “chip* components.
Use extreme caution when handling the printed circuit boards, Some semiconductor devices can be damaged easily by
atic electricity. Drain off any electrostatic charge on your body by touching a known earth ground. Wear a commercial.
'y available discharging wrist strap device. This should be removed prior to applying power to the unit under test.
5. Use a groundedttp, iow voltage soldering iron.
8. Use an isolation (imes 10) probe on scope.
7. Donnot remove or install boards, floppy disk drives, printers, or other peripherals with power On.
8. Donot use freonpropelied sprays. These can ganerate electrical charges eutfcient to damage semiconductor devices.
9. The Computer cabinet is eauipped with vents to prevent heat buildup. Never block, cover, or obstruct those vents.
10. Instructions should be given, especialy to children, that objects should not be dropped of pushed into the vents of the
‘cabinet. This could cause shock or equipment damage.
11, Never expose the Computer to water. If exposed to water, turn the unit Off. Do not place the Computer near possible
water sources.
12. Never leave the Computer unattended or plugged into the AC outlet for long periods of time, Remove AC plug from AC.
‘outlet during lightning storms.
1, Never use tiquids or aerosols directly on the Computer. Spray on cloth and then apply to the Computer cabinet. Make
‘ure the Computer Is disconnected from the power tine. SCHEMATIC NOTES

This data provides the user with a time-saving service tool
which is designed tor quick isolation and repair of Com:
puter matifunctions.
Check all interconnecting cables for good connection and
correct hookup before making service checks.
Disconnect all peripherals except the Monitor from the
‘Computer to eliminate possible external malfunctions.
Replacement or repair of the power supply, main board,
keyboard, or connectors may be necessary after the
