== Before you start == * '''The power brick is the prime suspect in any C64 power fault.''' The original supplies are notorious for drifting high as they age and taking the MOS chips with them. Measure the 5 V output under load before blaming the board. * '''Work from your board's own silkscreen.''' Commodore substituted parts freely; the assembly number tells you which list applies, but the board is the final authority. * Anti-static precautions throughout โ the 6510, VIC-II, SID and PLA are irreplaceable in practical terms. * See [[Capacitor Failure Symptoms]] for recognising a failed part, and [[Recommended Tools]] for the workshop kit.
