acorn atom and acorn system series • Re: Atom screen corruption

If the keyboard is resting on your desk then it may be that the Break key is getting pressed by accident, which resets the computer.

D'oh!

One thing you can try is to enlarge C11 or applying a decent reset circuit.

Thanks I'll give it a go.

Once I removed the MZ163 board it always seems to be reset by pressing Break once or at most twice. Looks like the memory expansion may be duff. Time to break out the RCT and test the add on memory chips!
