|  Re: My C16 +4 has died
I had a similar issue with my beloved C16 and like you I prefer the real thing to PC emulation, my C16 was getting power but was displaying flashing coloured squares or random colour screens, in fact anything apart from the desired Commodore screen, so having received confirmations online that supported my theory that it was indeed very unwell- I first felt awful-then I set about finding someone to repair it. Having had a broken Spectrum brought back from the dead by them I decided to send my C16 off to Wales to be fixed by the wonderful people at Mutant Caterpillar. For a very reasonable sum they repaired it, heat sinked it, gave it a good internal clean and general health check and returned it to me and it is totally fine. I am not paid to advertise them nor am I an employee, I am just a very satisfied customer who can't recommend them highly enough for the excellent job they have done on two of my favourite systems. They also do 64k memory upgrades for the C16!
