In this Quick Fix video I look into a problem that I ran against on an Amstrad CPC 6128. It had many damaged chips (probably because of overvoltage) so I desoldered and removed them. But once I started adding working chips, I still couldn't get the computer to work. It turns out I broke some of the thin and fragile tracks on the PCB, which is amazing because it's almost impossible to see the problem just by looking at the tracks. Something to watch out for whenever you work on any PCB, but especially on the Amstrad CPC 6128 ones.
