A2000HD Freezes

Hi Adz,

I too have an Amiga 2000HD professional computer.  I know that the Amiga 2000HD is a much better computer then those TOY Amigas (500, 600, and 1200).  Answer to your problem:  Did you check the battery area on the motherboard for corrosion or discoloration?  If you have not yet removed the battery, you should do so.  Also, one of the 8520 ICs may be bad.  I can ship you a new pair of these chips for only $20.00 plus shipping.  Does this problem occur with all your games?  Also, get yourself a WICO Bat-Handle joystick from eBay.  WICO made the best joysticks.  They usually last for over 5 years of heavy use (mine did).

YES !
The Amiga 2000 and 500 both use the same 8520s.

I sell NEW 256k X 4 DRAMs for the Amiga 2000 Revision 6.x motherboards for only $16.00 for 1 meg (that's 8 DRAMs).  You will also have to pay for the shipping.

Clean that area of the motherboard with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol on a 100% cotton pad.   You must first carefully remove the battery with a soldering iron, solder-sucker and solder wick.  There are usually 3 legs that have to be un-soldered.  Because of the large ground plain around the battery area you must set the temperature of the soldering iron between 650 to 800 degrees F.  [color=FF0033]DO NOT USE A PAIR OF PLIERS TO PULL THE BATTERY OFF![/color]  adz, I hope this helps you   :-D
