Weird Keyboard Issue out of the box

Hi,

I finally managed to get all the required chips for the MKII. I got the board up and running a few days ago. Everything seems to work properly except for an odd issue with the Keyboard input. Starting with the letter "Q", and every other key after that, the key repeats itself when held down, in bursts, as in it will register several instances of the letter when the key is pressed, has a short pause then continues. This only happens on the QWERTY row of keys. I have tried different Keyboards and CIA chips but the issue persists. I noticed this is first when I was typing some basic commands and was seeing repeated key presses on the screen. This problem will definitely cause grief when Keyboard input is needed. Any ideas of what is happening?

Jens, thanks for your response. I tried your suggestion but unfortunately the issue persists. As stated previously, I have tried other Keyboards and CIA chips from known working C64's and the results are the same.

Bottom of the PCB (CIA#1) or the chip itself?

I have uploaded 4 images. I hope this helps.

Thanks, I will give this a try. It will be about 3 weeks since I am traveling out of country. I will get back to you then with the results.

Tobias, no devices are connected. All ports are empty.

After trying these suggestions, the issue continues. I do not get the repeated Keys issue (as described earlier) using the keyboard on my other 2 Commodore 64's (the older Bread Bin model and the C64C). Using the keyboards from these computers on the MKII exhibits the same issue. I can definitely rule out the Keyboard. The VIA chips do not make any difference either, swapping the two or from the MKII with each other or known working spares I have, has no effect. I really like the product, everything else seems to work fine.

OK, I will send it this week and let you know the shipping details at that time. Is the Address the same as online?

The motherboard has been sent, populated with ICs. I emailed shop@icomp.de the details and tracking number.

The unit works great now. Thanks for your time and effort in getting my issue resolved.
