Just fired my Amstrad just to test this new Mario Bros 2023: https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/games/mario-bros-2023/

@jelora logic board caps (small ones) or psu/crt ones?
@jelora tested video IC and CPU voltages and are +5V. Logic board voltages appears correct too. Will check CLK signals... maybe eeprom got erased and it's unable to boot?

OIOPOLIS is a brand new (still in production) RPG indie #Gameboy game. Demo can be played here: https://minihamsterproductions.itch.io/oiopolis-eng

In addition of English, the game is available in my language, Catalan 👌

@jelora holy shit!!!! 😍😍 Can you pick up stuff from la Déchèterie? In my area you cannot pick up 😖
@kiwa I can borrow you the floopies to reinstall it 😛
For silent old PCs, I always do the old trick of powering the fan with less voltage (a regulator, or picking from +12 and +5)
@jelora will check caps there first! There are several. Maybe voltage arriving to CPU is not correct and for this reason it beeps and doesn't boot...
@jelora I opened it just looking. Nothing weird. As you said, hope is "only" a bad cap! Very clean inside. #Minitel
@jelora thanks. Will open it at home and see. It has serial port, would be ideal for experiments with RPi ☺️
Holidays near Alès (France) and my host gives me a Minitel 😍
It's a 722 098X (model without retractable keyboard).
It beeps continuousy and nothing on screen. Any clues, common failure? #minitel @jelora
