🕹️ ON TODAY'S MENU: Have you ever wondered how or why you can piggyback RAM memory chips over faulty ones, to get a computer working again? Let's delve into that and at the same time see if we can completely fix the most common Commodore 64 fault (aka Commondore Sixty-Fault) using nothing but our fingers; no solder, no fancy tools, just what nature gave us! That said, we'll send do it the 'ideal' way as well, using tools that Home Depot/B&Q gave us! Let me know what you think in the comments!

Thanks for piggybacking with me! Eagle eyed or eared viewers might've noticed a few things:
Kresh is too damn cute.
Ah, I was expecting you to rip the chips out with just your fingers but that was more sensible.
I didn't have a C64 back in the day, but I can't stop watching your videos... I learn and relax a lot. Thanks!
This is why you don't make videos hungry. Ham, fish and chips...easily distracted
Great restoration vid! I never would've thought to diagnose the memory chips by touch, and it bows my mind that piggybacking even works. I'm bookmarking this for future reference when my 64s finally stop working. Amazingly, both are all-original, even down to the caps.
I absolutely love how genuine you are and I can't get over it. I'd like to extend to you an alternate prespective; that YOU made it possible, with the help of your patrons. To understand this see patrons as passionate people, because passionate people help others who are passionate live their dreams. That being said, Because you had to start by being passionate, then recognize it, then want to share it, stop caring about the thoughts of other and go for it. And that created a space where other genuine people can feel comfortable, and be in the moment and by doing that they want to help in any way they can. Because you are you.
Great video yet again, I've seen piggy backing used to find faulty ram on the Acorn Electron. The difference being that with a faulty chip the electron displayed just a white screen. When a good chip was placed over the faulty one the system booted to a prompt but after 2-3 seconds started to become garbled. Test was good for finding bad chips but dem' chips needed replacing. Interesting to learn that the Commodore can function with good ram stuck over the bad indefinitely.
Great video. I'm thinking of having a tv in my house just continuously playing your videos! So relaxing...
The blue screen of life.
Yay, another episode of my most anticipated YT subscription!
Man, I’d shop at WalMart a lot more if I were you.
Really good video, the description of doing a continuity test was great. Now i can keep investigating a black screen on my A500
"Hello; And now, for something completely different..."
Most excellent! Thank you for furthering the education of restoring these old machines.
I will be trying this shortly (hopefully, waiting on some chips to come in), as Monday night my 64 quit. Referencing the same Ram chip on the same revision of board with the Dead Test Cartridge. I hope that is all it is, I was really looking forward to using it. I like the videos being entertaining as well as informative as usual.
Thanks for this video, this has helped me fix my BBC micro model B using your technique, which also had a memory fault. I will credit you in my up coming video. Thankyou! 😊🕹️
Very interesting...That desoldering gun is a nice bit of kit.
Great video as always bud. One thing to add ; if your suspect chip has legs which have tarnished you may not be able to get contact using the piggybacking method - use a little bit of wet and dry sandpaper (dry) to clean the legs before you piggyback :) Also ; consider a bit of blu-tack to hold down your sockets rather than tape - just a suggestion :)
I LOVE your quote, “The blue screen of ...LIFE” good old commodore!
