Title: BlizzardPPC and BVisionPPC Repair
Post by: AF-Domains.net on January 09, 2005, 11:13:40 PM

Which of the many Amiga repair centres should I send my BlizzardPPC and BVisionPPC to be repaired?

Are they known to be reliable?

Thanks

First try to explain what is wrong with your cards and what may have caused the failure or what you did before it failed ...  :-)

The Problem with the BlizzardPPC card is that you have to press the left hand side of the bottom ram socket down to get the amiga to boot.

The problem with the BVisionPPC card is that there are 2 pins missing from one of the SMT Chips.

I am certainly not a repair main, but from what you tell it seems like the BPPC has got only a bad contact and that sounds easy to repair. The Bvision is another thing. I have read on this forum in another topic of a similar problem that it can only be repaired by a really specialized person with plenty of soldering experience, no matter if it´s Amiga related or not ... how much are you prepared to spend at it ??? Some dealers like to ask high prices ...  :-o

I am currently selling I tems off on ebay to make money that goes towards the repair of both cards.

I am prepared to spend about the same amount as I got my 2nd BlizzardPPC + BvisionPPC for.

True because at the moment you don´t seem to have anything listed ...
