pyntom Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 Please understand that I am new to this Commodore system, but after hooking-up my Vic-20, and getting the boot-up screen, as follows: **** CBM BASIC V2 **** 3583 Bytes Free Ready. -(blinking cursor) I cannot enter anything. There always seems to be a dash before the cursor, which does not appear in any of the manuals--I'm not sure if that is important. So I seem to boot-up fine, but cannot advance the cursor or input anything. Also, when I hit INST/DEL instead of the preceding dash deleting one advances. Hitting RUN/STOP and RESTORE seems to get rid of the dash, but still no input. Can anyone help? I hope this is an appropriate forum for this question. Thank-you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliColts Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 Sounds like it could be a problem with the keyboard, possibly a stuck key or something like that which is keeping you from doing anything else. The dash before the cursor is not normal, so I would start in the area of that key and check for anything abnormal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 And if all else fails, I'll sell you mine for $10 plus actual shipping. Just got through testing it out today. Sold off all my carts, now I have no use for the system. It also comes with the tape drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
