Socket Name Chip Replacement Type Failure
U1 CIA 906108-02 (6526) DIP40 Startup screen normal, but no cursor. No keyboard or control port access but cartridge works. Partial failure: some keys or joystickpositions don't work, one character appears ahead of startup cursor or random characters appear at startup. Blank screen if chip is shorted (remove to check) and chip may get hot to the touch.
U2 CIA 906108-02 (6526) DIP40 Startup screen normal. No serial or user port access. "File not found" error when drive accessed. Cartridge works. Characters may show as blocks on startup screen.
U3 BASIC ROM 901226-01 EPROM 2764 8KB DIP24 Blank screen w/ border. Cartridge works.
U4 KERNAL ROM 901227-03 (early -02) EPROM 2764 8KB DIP24 Blank screen, no border. Most cartridges don't work but a few game carts (example: CBM Kickman and Jupiter Lander) will work with a normal screen because they bypass the Kernal ROM.
U5 CHARACTER ROM 901225-01 EPROM 2732 4KB DIP24 Normal startup border, but "garbage" characters where startup page characters should be. Cartridge works.
U6 COLOR RAM 2114 SRAM DIP24 Startup screen shows flickering characters with shimmering colors. Check also PLA U17.
U7 MPU 906107-01 (6510) DIP40 Blank screen, no border. Cartridge doesn't work.
U8 LOGIC CHIP 7406 DIP14 Blank screen. Partial failure: drive access problems: drive resets but "device not present" error.
U9-U12 RAM CHIPS generic 4164 DRAM generic 4164 DRAM DIP16 Blank screen, no border. Shorted chips will get warmer than the other RAM chips. Partial failure: will sometimes produce "garbage" screen, abnormal number of bytes free or "out of memory" error on startup screen.
U21-U24 RAM CHIPS generic 4164 DRAM generic 4164 DRAM DIP16 Blank screen, no border. Shorted chips will get warmer than the other RAM chips. Partial failure: will sometimes produce "garbage" screen, abnormal number of bytes free or "out of memory" error on startup screen.
U13 LOGIC CHIP 74LS257APC or AN or A but not PC (7708) DIP20 Blank screen, less than 38911 bytes free at startup or "garbage" screen. See U25 Note: MOS77xx series chips have a high failure rate.
U14 LOGIC CHIP 74LS258 (7709) Blank screen or "garbage" screen, even with diagnostic cart. If IC is MOS 77xx type, they are a frequent failure item!
U15 LOGIC CHIP 74LS139 Blank screen
U16 generic CMOS quad bilateral switch CD4066 Color problems such as random color "checkerboard" pattern on screen or no color.
U17 PLA 906114-01 PLAnkton, PLAtinum... Blank screen, no border. It can produce colored screen or flashing color garbage instead of startup screen. It can cause intermittant loss of cursor, screen freeze and/or program crashes after warmup and it can put random characters on screen. This chip normally runs hot. It is the most common chip to fail in the C64 because it runs hot normally, like the SID.
U18 SID 906112-01 (6581) SwinSID Normal screen. No sound or garbled sound. Mouse or graphics tablet pointer stuck or jitters. If shorted, can cause blank or "garbage" screen. NOTE: computer will work without a SID plugged in (unplug to check). This chip normally runs hot. Check also capacitor C13 (open).
U19 VIC 906109-04 (6567/6569) Blank screen (may be light or dark) with no border. Sometimes will produce garbage or "checkerboard" screen, or screen that lacks contrast. If screen is blank or garbled from bad VIC, "blind" disk commands from keyboard may still work.
U20 LOGIC/TIMER 556 (generates computer and drive reset at powerup). Blank screen. Computer will not reset, or RESTORE doesn't work. If disk drive is held in reset, check buffer transistor Q3 for shorts (later C64 boards only, early boards don't buffer reset line)
U25 74LS257APC or AN or A but not PC Logic Blank screen, "garbage" screen or less than 38911 bytes at startup. See U13 Note: MOS77xx series chips have a high failure rate.
U26 Logic 74LS373 "Startup screen has normal border, but characters are scrambled."
U27 Logic 74LS08 (or MOS7712) Normal startup border, but screen full (or nearly) of "garbage" characters.
U28 Quad bilateral switch CD4066 Normal startup screen. Proportional mouse or graphics tablet doesn't work in one or both control (joystick) ports.
U29 Logic, Divider 74LS74 Startup screen shows normal characters in multicolored "rainbow"
U30 Logic, Counter 74LS193
U31 Msster OSC 74LS629N or 7701/8701 Blank white screen, no border. Normal "whine" in nearby AM radio will be missing if the oscillator is not running. Check also VIC U19
U32 Logic CMOS 4044 No monitor picture, just diagonal lines on screen.
