Arjak Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I just found and bought a Commodore 128 in my own town, no eBay! Unfortunately, I'm having trouble with something. I've found that while the system works in 80 column mode on the monitor I got with the computer, 40 column mode and Commodore 64 mode do not work. I've tried plugging in the computer to a different display, I've tried using a different A/V cord, but nothing works. When I try to use these modes, I get either a blank or glitchy display. Please help me, guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegamezmaster Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Have the same problem. Was told it's the video chip for that mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjak Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 Actually, it turns out the problem was me being a moron. I was browsing a Commodore forum for answers to my problem and someone with this problem was recommended to flip the RGB/Video switch on the monitor. I didn't even know there was one on the monitor! Sure enough, after a little feeling around, I found the button in question, and pressing it fixed the problem. Doh! Give the monitor mode switch a try, gamezmaster!
