Can anyone help me bring an old British Computer back to life.
Last night I bought a early 1980's Grundy Systems Newbrain "AD" computer
from an advert in the local newspaper.
(See
http://www.ndirect.co.uk/~e.tedeschi/picts/newbrain.jpg)
The machine is in good condition, with original manuals, cables, psu,
and even some software.
Unfortunately it wont power up.
Turning on, the LED display flickers and goes blank (although the manual
says it should do this, although I don't get a test pattern which I
think I should) On the Television/video output I just get a white
screen.
Does anybody know if these machines suffered from any common faults?
There doesn't seem to be much information in any of the newsgroups, and
apart from brief descriptions on web based computer museums, there is
very little information available about this strange little computer.
Any help or information, would be much appreciated.
