Topic: Commodore 128 Troubleshooting and repair book

[smf]

I'm sure I found this book scanned online a couple of months ago, but I can't remember whether it was linked from somewhere or I just found it.

It's not ray carlsens stuff and it's not commodore's documentation for their cartridge, but it had a step by step diagnosis using oscilloscopes etc.

It's really bugging me now because I didn't have time to go through it at the time, but now I have time I can't find it.

It sounds like it might be one of Sam's Books.  They often have diagrams, flow charts, diagnostic procedures, etc.  I'm sure I've seen some over at Bombjack, but who knows if any are what you remember!

Yes, it might be the sams computer facts book.

A very meaningful description.

While it doesn't have the specific book you're after there're also C128 books here - http://www.bombjack.org/commodore/books-commodore128.htm

Well, I didn't get any volunteers, so I scanned them myself.
You can find them on Bombjack.org.

I don't have one to repair right now, but on behalf of the community, thank you.  They're bound to come in handy!

The TAB book is the best.
