amiga-A500-501s-0-5-meg-upgrade yellow screen.
« on: August 21, 2014, 01:54:49 AM »
I bought a 501s ram upgrade for my NTSC A500. The problem is when I turn the switch to the on position and turn on my A500, the screen turns yellow, however, if the ram is turned off, the Amiga boots fine. Is there a way to fix this? What about cleaning the ram or contacts? Is the ram dead?


This is what I purchased.

I'll try that after work. I tried removing the battery, but I still had the yellow screen. Hopefully, its just a battery issue. Thank you.


Edit: I put in a new battery, but when I turned on the A500, I still get a yellow screen. Also, I forgot to note, that the power led would flash and after a while the screen would turn grey then yellow again. This doesn't happen if I remove the ram or turn off the ram.

I'll try cleaning it.

Edit: I've tried alcohol and yellow screen.

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't know what else to do. If in the end I cant fix it, then I'll see if Amibay has a replacement that I can purchase.
