Help!  I have a friend's C64 before me.  Upon power up,
nothing happens except the drive runs for a few seconds.  The
pilot light appears to come up to full brightness initially, 
then suddenly becomes dim.

I have "heard" that there are chronic C64 problems that appear
after the machine is one to two years old.  Is this one of
them?  I'll begin the usual troubleshooting (sans schematics)
in the meantime, but would appreciate any hints.

Has anyone seen this or something similar?
