I think what Mike means is PLA chip, U17. This is most often the
culprit for problems like yours. It will also often cause a blank
screen at power-up. This chip selects the basic, kernel, and char.
gen. roms, so when it goes bad, a multitude of symptoms can develop.
But the ones described above are by far the most common.
