I took a chance and bought an untested 800XL with a disk drive and joysticks.
To put it bluntly, I lost on this gamble. The 800XL is d-e-a-d. It does not power on at all. The inside has a fair amount of rust on the shielding and on most of the chips. I started reseating the chips and warmed up a few suspicious looking solder joints but things don't look good.
Does anyone fix these?
