See
schematic for .the colors matching those in this guide for
circuitry
to
be checked.
When a portion of a chip function is being referred to for checking, this is indicated by the partial col-
oring of chip.
PRELIMINARY
SETUP
"SHIFT LOCK" key must be depressed before any troubleshooting is attempted.
"BREAK" key must
be
depressed and then released.
Confirm power supply output of
5V
DC.
These steps are necessary before computer
will
operate.

For horizontal sync, connect scope to Pin
12
of
U4B.
Output should
be
similar to WAVEFORM
26
and
the negative pulse should
be
approximately
4.7!-,Sec
wide.
For vertical sync connect scope

BOARD
The four memory chips
U2C,
U2D
,
U2E
, and
U2F
are the B & W memory.
U2C
and
U2F
comprise
memory for the top half of the moni
tor
display, while
U2D
and
U2E
comprise memory for the bottom
half of the monitor. The video information is fed thru
U3F
to
ROM
(U3E)
to generate the dot pattern to
be
displayed.
U3D
then shifts this information serially
to
the Video Monitor
(J21)
.See Figure 3 to com-
pare timing of memory switch signal to video signal. Set horizontal time base on scope
to
2mSec. This
confirms operation
of
U2C,
U2D

U2E,
U2F,

part of
U3E,

and
