By observing the experiment you change it.

Very True Stephen, by pushing my scope probe onto the pad of R137 I inadvertently fixed a dry joint and the flickering has gone (at least for now) so I've just desoldered that joint and the CPC6128 is on test once again

My LS257s arrived today, popped one into the empty socket and switched the QL on to be presented with the monitor selection screen... result!

SO it took me a couple of hours to fix all in, including learning about how the QL works but I'm pretty happy now that its working.

I've got a new membrane to put in the keyboard and then that's the QL done.

Yay!

Now you can join the Sinclair QL forum as well.

Actually I should have already, this is my second QL after all

Got myself an OSSC finally and have been having a play with it. So far it works great with the Sinclair QL and my Lenovo monitor but took a bit of tweaking. Not sure about all this scaliness emulation thing just yet as I don't even remember seeing that back in the day.

@JezC you are coming to cyber legends right? Collect it from there perhaps?

Ok, things are looking a bit more positive for being able to attend this (at the moment at least)...though I might be accompanied by my good lady (and possibly even my daughter) so I'll have to exercise great restraint (and according to my wife I may need to "try" to sell some of my ST collection...but perhaps not too hard )

I'll see if I can bring some of the potential boards back into the house from the garage...though I wonder if there would be any interest in nearly working systems (e.g. with a RAM fault) or just fully working ones (maybe needing a PSU recap and a floppy replacement)...

You can't get rid of stuff! It might be useful one day!

Not sure same rule applies to wives though

@JezC bring it, put a price on it and see I guess?

I'm not sure whether that is meant to suggest that wives are not useful... ...or wives should get rid of (their) stuff
