Dead System 6 or 7 CPU board with good reset.

System 6/7 CPU: no clock at the 6802/6808

Cause: The clock oscillator is inside the 6802/6808; only crystal CR1 and capacitors C25 and C26 (27 pF) are external.

Checks

  • With a logic probe, look for clock at IC1 pins 38 and 39.

Fix

  • Replace crystal CR1 and check C25 and C26.
  • If there is still no clock, replace the 6802/6808 at IC1.
