|  Re: Assistance required after recent purchase of a C16
I also have a plus4 which shows nothning on the tv, if i switch it on. I was told that it could be the sid. But now i think that is not the case because of a little thing i discovered.
I have switched on and off the powerswitch very very fast. And some times I get a picture on the screen. For example a running Cursor which ends in the message break in ??? or the plus 4 prints basic but not the normal complete startup picture.
So I think it could be the cpu which is dead. I will try to exchange it with a c64 cpu, which is easier to get and don't need the serial port. I will use a CPU adapter, of course.
Hope this helps you, try this fast switchig and look if you can get a picture
