In this video, I take a look at a faulty Acorn Electron sent in by Yawning Angel Keith. Despite the classic “black and white stripes” screen often pointing to RAM or ULA failure, troubleshooting with an oscilloscope reveals a surprising culprit. Follow along as I diagnose the signals, reflow the ULA, and swap parts to bring this childhood machine back to life just in time for Retro Fest.
