This isn't a response to the above. However, it is a little note of
interest related to above.

I've found that the first thing to check is the power supply with
C64s when they go down. If you have the industry standard of electronics
caked in plastic-gook, you will probably (if not already) have problems
with the power supply over-heating. When mine went the symptoms were
a blank screen of light blue (I think) without any border and the power
light would not come on.
