TheC64 Maxi freezes after 40-60 seconds

First the audio starts to stutter at around 45 sec, and then the whole system freezes at around 1 minute mark.

I've tried:

  • A big external fan pointed at the main PCB, blowing off air at full speed. No effect that I can see.
  • Pressing the BGA chips gently from the top. No effect.
  • Two different 5V 2.4A power supplies. No effect.
  • Two different HDMI cables. No effect.
  • Running it without the keyboard. No effect.

I got the system like this, and I don't know about its history or if it ever worked better.

I don't have anything connected to the USBs.

Am I cooked?

Trying to find an MSX1 game that I played 30 years ago. In the game you would have to climb a tree. It scrolled upwards, and you could jump from branch to branch. There were different kind of enemies, but the only ones I really remember were bees, and I think there were bee hives as well.

Possibly a dumb question, but how do I make my Pi1541 save my Rick Dangerous high score? Unmounting the disk didn't help
