Obviously don't own an Indi AGA, but just a couple things off the bat:

- Do you have the same issues when using the native Amiga video output?
- Try running the system with everything but the Indi removed
- Is it a heat issue?  Try running with the case open and a fan blowing directly on it.  Any difference?
- Do you have any kind of ModePro utilities running that might be interfering with screensize?

Hmmm, can I connect my C2002 monitor to the A1200 video output with the Indi still installed and get a screen? Always wondered that...

With the Indi ECS you can do this.  If you run something bigger than what the monitor can display normally it just pushes it off the edges.  Here's an old photo of mine (before I got my Spectrum).

BTW, this is NOT the machine in my sig......

How many A1200's do you have???  :lol:

If I'm reading right, it sounds like you have a damaged Mobo.   No RGB output even with Indi removed?  Honestly I'd try to get that fixed first, before moving on with any other troubleshooting.  :(

Can you test the 2nd Indi with your 1st A1200?

If 2nd Indi works with 1st A1200, you'll know the problem is with 2nd A1200 mobo.  If 2nd Indi has the same problem with 1st A1200, you'll know problem is with 2nd Indi.  That's like, what I do all day long, man.  Swap components until I find ones that work!  :D
