A500 20min reseting then OK...
« on: August 27, 2007, 10:44:01 PM »
Hi,
I have an A500 that works pretty fine but only after 20 minutes of reseting itself when turning on. This only happens whena Amiga is off for 3 days or more.
Is there something I can do besides leaving the computer ON all the time?
Thanx. :-)

 Looks like you have some chip with electrical bad contact.

 Simply open the case and (re)press all the socketed chips on the place.

 Look also for the electrolythical capacitors on the board (I change ALL of those evil hell spawns each 2~3 years).

Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.

Ok, I'll do that.
Also I don't know much about electronics, so I don't know how to id those capacitors that you mention.
Thanks.
