As the picture shows, the screen keeps shaking.

Hi aihk!

First check the values of all the resistors on the motherboard, I made a mistake with one when I built my replica and it really became a big headache. (:

The resistance is correct. I think it may have been caused by buying some inferior chip. Maybe it's a fake LS from HC

Now this is the case. Some characters will appear on the right. I don't know what the reason is

Looks like the horizontal
Looks like the horizontal blanking isn't occurring on the right.

Faulty enable at 8-to-1 video mux?

It looks like the  ENABLE  signal at the 74LS151 8-to-1 video multiplexor at A9 isn't switching-off promptly at the end of its  WINDOW  interval.  Some possible causes:

  • A9 itself might be faulty.
  • Pin 7 at A9 might have a poor connection to pin 13 at A10
  • A10 might be faulty
  • Pin 5 at A10 might have a poor connection to pin 6 at C14
  • The gating logic at C14 or C13 might be faulty

 

If any of those faults occurred, then the video multiplexor could continue to transmit a signal after the  WINDOW  interval has ended.  On a Rev 0 motherboard, that would cause characters to be generated from BASIC's storage memory instead of the screen memory.  To test that, try typing this BASIC command to fill that region of memory with blank spaces and see if it erases the noise in the right margin:

    FOR A=4096 TO 8192:POKE A,160: NEXT 

That command takes about 25 seconds.  If the fault originates from one of the causes listed above, then this BASIC command will erase it from the screen.  (It doesn't really fix the problem, but it helps pinpoint where the noise is coming from.)

Thanks for your answer. I finally replaced the 74ls11, which does not have the ghosting on the right. But the picture is still shaking badly. I uploaded the video to see it. I have replaced the several 74s you mentioned, but the shaking is still the same。Entering the command you provided has no effect
