1702 monitor - though everything operates, inputs on front and back have no response, this will be a separate project in and of itself, i could use some help here. I know how to discharge a CRT but I'm not familiar with this setup

Overview....



Missing chip?



broken cap?

[CPULoyal]

The C128 has an empty socket in position U36 for expansion ROM. Usually utility ROMs were sold to occupy this slot with thing like Basic 8.
The broken cap is for RAM decoupling.
