Title: amiga repair blog
Post by: easy_john on October 06, 2010, 01:48:15 PM
I'm looking for a blog of one man, a French or an Italian, in which there were many photos of the repair of motherboards from amiga 2000-3000-4000 computers. Replacement leak batteries, recovery broken paths, etc.

Very nice... it's just not clear to me if he does the repairs for you, and if yes, there are some prices on his site but no repair charges...

Thanks, but i think (hope) i can do it myself...
And it's not very cheap for a Russian guy with a mortgage. :)
In addition shipping will cost quite expensive. I once sent broken blizzard PPC In France to Jean Jacques. He could not fix it, and I could not pay for return shipping, it cost more than 60 euros for little board. So that the final price obtained more than 180 euro. A little bit too much for a couple of weekends sitting at a soldering station.
In any case, thanks, I will ask if it is too difficult case for me.

Practice a lot on non-working PCB before your A4000...
