Hi

Sorry to hear of the problems.

If it is one of our boards originally then please send it in to us this week and we will put it on our bench and test it.  We will advise the best course of repair action after inspection. 

Thanks

Please see attached image

It's a ferrite bead used to supress RF interference.  It looks like some kind of resin that was applied at the factory in a rather slap dash fashion.    Some board don't appear to have any resion applied but I found this example on BBOH.

Hi!

A recap won't fix the issue unless there has been major leakage but does not really affect the A1200 in this way. It maybe Gayle or simply clean up the expansion connector. Careful removing ROMS as you could damage the tracks under the ROM.

Good luck!

Not sure about that but every Amiga should be recapped, especially smd models like 600/1200.
My 1200 had floppy issues, it was caused by this.

I have a feeling it might be the tracks under the ROM, they have had various ROM's in there over the last few days.  :-\

Certainly not the easiest chip to get out if you have taken the heat shield off.
