Title: Amiga 3000D heat
Post by: Marmes on September 30, 2017, 10:41:05 PM
Hi!
I got my A3000D runing, but I noticed a few strange things:
I have an Apollo 3060 , A3000D with it runs without Daughterboard, perfectly.
When I use daughterboard, resistor networks on it get really hot, and there is continuity between 5V and GND with daughterboard pulled out, does this happens to you?
Also on my CV64, those bidir buffers (74F245) get hot,not to the point of burn, but it works. Is it normal to the S3 chip to get real hot? Since I don't have another amiga for now, can anyone confirm me that this happens or not on your graphics card?
Thanks in advance!

Can't help ya but, your title of this thread sounds like a NEW ACTION PACKED TV SHOW! With BABES! :laugh1:

Although, if things are getting abnormally hot, something is drawing too much current. Which means, things might work toady, but not tomorrow. Take immediate action!....:)

Because, if you have zero ohms between B+ & Ground, you have a short somewhere. Maybe a recap is in order?
