PLUS 4 OVERVIEW
The Plus 4 system is based on the 7501 microprocessor, an HMOS version of the 6510. Video processing is achieved by the 7360 TED chip. 64K bytes of dynamic RAM are accomplished by 8 (64K
x 1) I.C.'s. (See page ). The system program is contained in 2 (16K x 8) ROMs. The system supports
up to 128K x 8 of ROM banked in 16K sections. By software control, through the 7360, ROM can
be completely banked out and RAM banked in for a true 64K of RAM (minus 256 byte pages), allowing 60,671 bytes available for BASIC.
Keyboard and joystick scanning are accomplished by outputting the row data on the data bus while
addressing a particular register in the TED chip. This will in turn cause the TED chip to latch the column
information.
A standard serial port supports serial bus peripherals such as the 1541 disk drive and the various
serial printers. A cassette port is provided and the expansion port supports ROM cartrdiges. TTL serial
ASCII is intended to drive an RS-232 adapter.

Troubleshooting
Aides
NOTE: Visual inspection is critical in this unit!
The upright position of many of the components used on the
board can create problems. It is possible for them to be
shorted to the shield or to each other. Make sure they are
evenly spaced and do not contact the shield.
Areas of the PCB particularly vulnerable to this
problem are:
Bottom right corner - caps
Bottom center - Jl-J6
Bottom left - Q3 shorted to FB57
Top left - ferrite beads
Center - Twisted caps (just outside of RF can)
•
1) NO VIDEO - Absolutely no video on screen
A) Check for 5 volts
O.K.
If not: 1) Check fuse
2) Check for twisted or bent caps
+
( 5 V. short to ground)
3) Check Ll
B) Check for oscillation at pin 14 of Ul
O.K.
If not: 1) Check for good connection at
pin 14 of Ul
+
2) Check for good connection at
Rl thru R7
C) Check for LUM signal at pin 23 of Ul, at pin 4 of
the modulator, at pin 8 of the modulator, at FB3
and at pinl of CN7
O.K.
If not: 1) Check for LUM signal shorted
to ground

2) Jump out RAM to verify
F) Check multiplexers U9, UIO - signals at RP3
and RP4 should be similar in frequency and
amplitude
O.K.
If not: 1) Suspect U9 or U10

G) Check ROM for chip select signal at p.in 22 of
U23 and U24
O.K.
If not: 1) Check for signal generation

A) Check Ul pin 33 for SND signal
O.K.
If not:
1) Check socket for open circuit

2) Swap Ul w/known good
B) Check audio circuit for short to ground or loss of
signal.
O.K.
If not:
1) Check Q3 - Be sure emitter and base
are not shorted to 5 v.
•
C) Check modulator Ml pin 2 for SND signal
1) Adjust I.F. can (top right of

These computers have been affected by an Engineering
Change Order that adds 4 diodes to the serial port. These
protection
diodes are not required as field upgrades. They
are 1N914s and were added as a circuit improvement.
The Schematic and PCB Layout for the C-64 in the
Service Manual (Pages 28 and 32) include these diodes.
However, the C-16 and Plus 4 Service Manuals were completed
before the changes were made. The Schematic corrections
are
