Chapter  4-Installation for 1200XL 

CHAPTER 4-INSTALLATION FOR 1200XL  

Turn your computer on its back. Remove the six phillips head 

 

screws which hold the case together and place them in your parts 

 

dish. Turn the computer right side up and lift the top cover up and 

 

towards the front. Look inside and find the two ribbon cables 

 

which connect the keyboard and console LEDs to the main 

 

computer board. Carefully unplug these cables noting the correct 

 

polarity of their connectors. Remove the keyboard assembly and 

 

set it aside for now. 

Remove the six phillips head screws holding the computer board in 

 

the bottom case. One of these screws is in the upper left hand 

 

corner near the on/off switch. Another is in the upper right corner 

 

and goes through the heat sink. The remaining four screws are 

 

across the front and about four inches apart. (Three of these also 

 

hold down the metal shield.) 

Remove the computer board assembly from the case. Lift the front 

 

of the computer board and the cartridge/joystick/switch assembly 

 

up and pull the computer board out and towards you until all the 

 

rear connectors are free. Remove this assembly, separate the 

 

plastic piece from the PCB and set it aside. 

Remove the metal shields and set them aside. There should be 

 

several "push" rivets. Remove these then separate and remove the 

 

metal covers. NOTE: Some metal covers are held together with 

 

bent metal tabs instead of screws. These tabs should be 

 

straightened with your needle nose pliers. Then the shields may be 

 

separated. 

Locate Important Integrated Circuits (1200XL) 

ANTIC-U20 

Usually will be part number C012296. This is the 40 

 

pin IC to the lower right of the PCB. 

PIA-U23  Also labeled C014795 or 6520. This is located just 
to the left of ANTIC in the 1200XL.
