a4000 color error codes
« on: November 17, 2003, 05:40:16 PM »
Well, after sulking for a few days I decided to try and troubleshoot my a4k. I know its not my sonnet doubler, it was tested in a mac and worked fine. I do however get a quick yellow flash on power up. I have found listings of the color error codes but dont quite  understand what the yellow code explanation means. Can someone translate the yellow code to "dumbass" so I can understand it? Thanks, any help at all would be appreciated.

Ok. that's what I found. Now, what does THAT mean. Dumb it down for me. It's been a loooooooooooooong time since I got this deep into an Amiga.

The only thing that I did was change the battery on the board. Screwed the board back down tight, (I've run into the ground thing before) and installed the a3640 w/040-50(sonnet doubler). My picasso II nor my flicker fixer are installed. So I have an a4k rev2, a3640 w/ 040-50, and 2m chip, 16 fast installed. All drives are unplugged for troubleshooting. (tried w/without drives plugged in). I have of course made sure that the roms and buster are snug in their sockets. I tested the sonnet in a mac and its ok so im looking at board, a3640, or ram issue. I just.....ARGH!
I just refuse to believe that soldering a new battery on the board killed it.

Thanks,
