Arrrgh! Deadly RF shield!
Arrrgh! Deadly RF shield!
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: The front lip of the upper half of my A1200's (Rusty) RF shield. Those little specks along the edge there appear to be some kind of plate material that is flaking off from the shield - They'll come off with a tap of a screwdriver - And they're conductive :shocked:

What do you folks think?

Comparison with a non-rusty shield seems to suggest that the flakes are a result of the manufacturing process rather than any rusting, where the shield has been folded.

Still a good idea to remove them if possible whilst using a high-powered vacuum cleaner to suck them away.

eslapion: I might arrange for a double shield for my A1200 since its being used for Amateur Radio. You've got me thinking... :-D

I’m gonna to remove it, but I've got to put another one in its place :-D Amateur radio doesn't work well with RF noise all over the place.

Remove this deadly RF shield, the Amiga runs OK without it and you get more air flow for the chips inside.
