hueyjones70 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I have an 800XL that doesn't respond to the joystick down in Port 1. Joystick works ok in port 2. Have resoldered the joystick input connections and no change. I have no idea where to start trouble shooting. Is there a particular chip/pin that carries that joystick signal?

jamm Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 The joysticks are read by the PIA chip - should be the chip on the lower-right of your motherboard marked 6520 or 6520B. It's a standard chip, so you could swap it out (or at least check the pins). See this thread: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hueyjones70 Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 I found the problem, one of the inductors on the right side of the MB was bad. I believe it was L23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
