Title: Problem with Amiga CD³²
Post by: DonDaniele on July 05, 2006, 07:50:43 AM
Hi everybody,

I have an annoying problem with my CD³²... last year (or 2 years ago..?) I bought this used machine. Some weeks later I also bought a new Amiga-Pad..

But at that time I didn't have the time to test everything.. I just connected the stuff to my TV, tried some games and everything seemed fine..

Last weekend I wanted to play and finish Fire & Ice, but had to quit 'cause this problem appeared:

The first 15 - 20 min the red button on the pad was for shooting, the green one next to it was used for jumping. But suddenly Cool Coyote didn't jump anymore when I pushed the button. So I tried the other ones.. and suddenly 'jumping' was the UP button on the left... hm, strange..

Well I continued but then, after some minutes, I couldn't jump again.. but this time no other button helped me.. I pushed'em all but nothing happend. Only firing icy balls..

Just for fun, I connected the old, freaky pad (that came with the console in those days) to test if the Amiga-pad is damaged, but the same again..

Any ideas? CD³² damaged???

Hi tolishot,

yes, I tried another pad but still the same.. I also tried other games with no difference...

I had some minor problems when I connected the cable with my TV.. could this also cause this problem??

It's the Scart-cable (=> TV) and at the other end the three colored (red/white/yellow) for the CD³²... and I don't know why, but the Scart plug didn't fit perfectly.. and when you touch it the screen sometimes gets black and you only hear the gaming sound...

If you tested 2 or more pads and you have same problem the real problem is your CD32. The problem seems like bad CIA chips. In this case forget the service, look ebay for a new CD32. No mater how many pads or mouse are connected or If you have scart cable for TV, all this is *($)@%#%x^&*(....

If we suppose you find the bad chips and if we suppose you desolder and resolder with success the news, and if the system working with success, the cost to send the machine from Germany to Greece and back is like a "new" secondhand working CD32 from german ebay. Why all this troubles???
