You can unban yourself if needed. It also sends me reports to investigate the ban.
DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

A good video on basic troubleshooting

Post by rubber_jonnie »

For those of you starting out in retro repairs, there are some good channels out there on YouTube.

Personal favourites of mine are Adrians Digital Basement, and Noels Retro Lab.

I thought this video was particularly good for its basic troubleshooting process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr22g56qslE

Take a look at what Noel does, starting with voltage checking at the beginning, and how he refers to schematics and looks at the circuits and tests them.

If you don't have a clue, it's a nice little video to start with.
Collector of many retro things!
800XL and 65XE both with Ultimate1MB,VBXL/XE & PokeyMax, SIDE3, SDrive Max, 2x 1010 cassette, 2x 1050 one with Happy mod, 3x 2600 Jr, 7800 and Lynx II
