Loading games with PlayZX
Hi all Does anybody have any experience with loading games via PlayZX - or an equivalent app - on Android? I can't even get to the point where the name of the game appears!

Re: ZX Spectrum 48K issues
This looks good...and had I not already ordered my membrane, I would have gone for this option!
Thanks for posting it.

Re: ZX Spectrum 48K issues
I managed to remove it quite easily with a plastic spatula and haven't damaged the fascia at all
I will no await the arrival of the new membrane!

Re: ZX Spectrum 48K issues
Thank-you for your help.
I would rather buy a higher quality membrane in order that the problem doesn't occur again.

Re: ZX Spectrum 48K issues
I think I have identified the problem. One of the contacts on the KB2 keyboard membrane is torn and several are torn on KB1.
It appears I need a new membrane.
What would you recommend?

Re: ZX Spectrum 48K issues
Ok...I am confused now.
I have tried a continuity test between KB2 and the anodes starting from the left pin of KB2 to D1 to the right most pin of KB2 to D8 and I hear a beep for each one.
That suggest KB2 is fine does it not?

Re: ZX Spectrum 48K issues
I also receive a response when connecting KB1 to the anodes except for 1 pin. However, there is no response when connecting the pins of KB2 to the anodes. Could that be the problem and is that where I should check for continuity? I am assuming KB2 connects to the annodes?

Re: ZX Spectrum 48K issues
I have a response when connecting between the ULA and the anodes!
So now do we conclude that the connector KB2 is at fault?

Re: ZX Spectrum 48K issues
Thanks for the reaponse.
I am using the rf modulator.
I tried connecting pin 1 of KB2 to the different pins in KB1 and received nothing on screen...
It is an Issue 3.
What should I do next?

ZX Spectrum 48K issues
Hi all This is my first post... I recently acquired what looks like a pristine 48K Spectrum. I managed to acquire a picture on my LCD TV, I do however have two problems: 1. The constant hissing from the TV - is that normal? I don't recall this problem when I last used a Spectrum some 30 years ago......
