 Re: My C16 +4 has died

Is it a Plus/4 or a 16? And what part of the world are you located (Europe, North America, etc)?

Does the red Power light come on? On a 16 this is above the F-keys, on a Plus/4 it's below the C= and Shift keys. (Also verify that you have power to the wall outlet or power strip.)

My first thought is to check the fuse, since you have no power to the Datasette. This is located on the motherboard, close to where the power supply connects.

Second thought is the power supply itself. If you have a Commodore 16, you might be able to use a power supply from another electronic device for diagnostic purposes -- as long as the alternate power supply delivers 9V DC at 1A, and the pin fits the connector in the 16, it will work. But if you have a Plus/4, the power supply's plug to the computer is unique.
