I’ve recently acquired an Earthshaker and I’m currently sorting it out.
I have an issue with the display where on the lower display the top right corner of every digit is locked on.
I’ve swapped the display and ribbon cable from my Whirlwind and have determined it’s not the display or the ribbon cable.
So… on to investigate the MPU - from what I’ve initially read the 74154 and or PIA could be at fault, MPU is clean and no battery damage, even went over it with a UV black light. I have not removed the MPU yet but when I do I will check for bad traces / cold joints and other wacky ness.
Is there anything else I’m missing here, I’ve attached a few photos.
Thank you for your time.
