Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hi,

I still have a working C64 (haven't turned it on for 2 years but it should
work) at home but I guess that won't help you much. I'm not a specialist on
these Computers since I never owned one in the 80s and the one I have is a
gift, so I never opened a C64 like I did with all my other computers...  
If you have a picture the power transformer is working... it's maybe a
problem with the computer other then that it's quite unlikely that both have
the same problem. Have you tried to use a TV instead of the monitor,
sometimes those monitors have switches for this and that. Maybe turning the
computer on without having the the disk drive attached will help...
