Anyone by chance got a picture of their motherboard from a 500 that they could share with me? It's just that I was wondering if somehow it would matter if the chips were in the wrong way round.
My previous posts were about my flashing power LED. Well that seems to have stopped now and I have the drive not recognising a disc but running the whole time. Sheesh!!!
I am at the present time removing chips to clean them so I want to make sure they go in the right way.
Anyone who can offer advice is welcome. :-)

:-o Look at the custom chips on her!

That's also a condition of a reversed floppy cable.
On PC equipment, the red wire normally goes closest
to the power connector. If I remember correctly, the
red wire should go farthest from the power connector.
(Just the opposite on the Ami)
Reverse it, and the floppy runs all the time. And mind
which way you plug the cable to the mother board.

connnector in that nice pic from Cyberus.

That usually occurs if the floppy cable is mounted the wrong way.

I just have to think of Agnus in her younger days, and my cable doesn't stay floppy for long...

Greetings Cyberus,
I can't help but notice the Audio socket(left). Did someone "bang" her too much?! Be gentle, man. :lol:
:-D

Well, they always said that 'banging the hardware' is the way to get the most out of your Amiga.

Hmm whats the deal with thos Sharp branded ROMS?
I have one, i assumed it was a copy or something...
Now i see the CBM on it :-P

Notice how most of the chips have a notch. The motherboard has a printed "notch" showing the orientation of chip placement.
Not quite brail, so don't let a blind man work on your system... :-D

The first thing I look at when I see a nude Amiga is her good pair of... CIAs. What you were guessing it was? ;¬)
Saluditos,

Now that was good!!! Never noticed until just then.
Still have the same problem with the computer though.
