A1000 - dies after loading kickstart???

[mingle]

Hi Steady,

I have an A1000 with exactly the same issue.

I actually got it to boot a couple of times, but no idea why it worked on those occasions!

I tried reseating and even swapping most or the socketted chips, with no change. I also tried new KS disks. I also tried a different floppy drive with no luck.

Let me know if you find a solution!

Cheers,

Mike.

@Steady,

You're spot-on!

Same thing with mine - I use an NEC Multisync II, which has been fine on all of my other Amiga systems, but for some reason, when it's connected during boot-up I can't get past the KS screen, just as you mentioned.

I'm not sure it's a faulty cable, as mine looks fine.

I can reconnect the monitor after KS has booted and everything else works fine...

Maybe it's something to do with grounding? My cable has all of the RGB ground connected together - maybe this is the problem?

Cheers,

Mike.

Just another update...

I've double-checked my AMIGA RGB - NEC Multisync cable and it's all correct.

I also tried using another older NEC Multisync monitor (the original/first one) and it works fine! (ie: Boots the Kickstart disk every time)

So there's something starnge about the Multisync II (and possibly other multisync monitors) that my A1000 doesn't like...

Cheers,

Mike.

Hi,

It always boots fine with no monitor connected.

However, it also boots fine with a 1084 and an original NEC Multisync - but not the Multisync II...

So it sounds like the sync problem with that monitor, for some reason.

I might try that resistor when I get the chance.

Cheers,

Mike.
