VGA screens probably didn't exist when you were 11 though. :-)

I'm not even sure CGA was back in 1981?

I guarantee its the edge connector, give it a clean with IPA and a spot of contact cleaner and she'll be right 😁
Yeah I will give that a try but also ha ve a 32k ram chip coming for the internal expansion as well.
I got one of these:

It's a ZXExpand +, 32KB RAM with an SD card reader, Sound chip, reset button & joystick port. Definitely worthwhile even if it does rely on the edge connector.

Hehe... I'm not sure CGA arrived with the first IBM-PC, which arrived that year from what I remember. MDA did though.
Anyway, it shows that you're 5 years younger than I am. ;-)

We'll have none of those young whipper snapper remarks thank you `:P :lol:
I'm actually used to being the oldest engineer where I work.
@rubber_jonnie Where did you pick up that zx divide? is it worth the pennies, etc.
