Manuel Cuenca shows how to check and connect the ZX Spectrum 48K correctly to the power supply and to the television, something fundamental to be able to start the repair by eliminating external faults.<\/p>\n<p>If after following these steps your Spectrum still does not work, the second delivery continues the diagnosis on the board itself.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rt-v\u00eddeo-grid rt-v\u00eddeo-grid--single\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tutorial repair ZX Spectrum 48K - First part\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_YAuhevNHn4\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Second delivery - Disassembly, boards and voltages<\/h2>\n<p>Not all ZX Spectrum 48Ks are the same: throughout their commercial life, there were different revisions of the board (issues). In this second part, you will learn to disassemble it, recognize the revision, and locate its main components.<\/p>\n<p>The key step of the video is the measurement of voltages: if the board is not powered correctly, it is difficult to function. We hope it is of great help to you.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rt-v\u00eddeo-grid rt-v\u00eddeo-grid--single\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tutorial repair ZX Spectrum 48K - Second delivery\"
