Is this Spectrum dead?Hello. First post and all that... I have an old Spectrum +3 which has sat on a shelf for many years. Yesterday, when I plugged it in for the first…
The red LED is fed off the +5V line from the PSU. So if you have a meter check if you have the correct voltages on the output plug (be careful not to short any of the connections).
Or if you have another PSU, test the Speccy again.

The border turns 'white' (which I've read is done by the Z80), and it looks like a RAM test is being done. So if it's one of the causes you mention, I'm betting lower 16K RAM.
Btw. did you check supply voltages? -

Sinclair ZX Spectrum FAILS latest radio noise rules SHOCKCan I really be the first to have mention this? Article on El Reg reports: [url]http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/12/13/sinclair_spectrum_fails_mode…
On complex boards like a PC you don't route regulated voltages around across the board either. It's easier to put a separate small voltage regulator and honking great filter caps near each subsystem and power it all off big fat 12v rails -
