Ok, I bought a Commodore 128 today.It came with three joysticks, a 1530 Datasette and about a dozen or so of tapes. With luck I will get the 1571 drive and some diskettes too (the former owner is searching for them in his storage).
I connected the C128 to the PSU, and a RF cable between RF out and my TV. When I turn it on, the power light turns on, and my TV (tuned to UHF 36) indicates that it has a signal (because the OSD briefly shows "MONO"). Nothing more happens. I also connected the 1530 (after turning off the power first), and tested with that. Nothing works (ie rewind or FF buttons do nothing). I tried searching for a C128 troubleshooting guide, but didn't find it.
What's next?
