It seems to have died...

You may want to open it up and make sure all the chips are seated properly.
In addition to that I have seen mine, over time, have a couple of boards
that are connected directly to each other seperate. Particularly, there is
one set, as you look from the front, on the right side that runs vertical to
you and connects to a board that is perpendicular to it. Make sure they are
pushed together tightly.

After wanting a Commodore 64 SX for such a long time, a kind man
finally gave me one. (it was
the victim of a garage-clean out. I got it back home and it worked fine
for a while. later
that night I was writing basic programs and this strange color washed
over it's little screen
then it went blank.

Cycling power did not restore any picture.

I left it unplugged overnight, (thinking the problem may have been heat
related)
but it's still in the same state this morning.

Any one have any knowledge? Is it really dead? Is there anything I can
do?
