A1200 to be buried?

[Jettah]

Hi,

As of today my A1200 suffers from an annoying habit: after doing some job, say using Wordworth OR Black's Editor OR Multiview, I have to restart it as the computer does no longer respond to mouse clicks! So I reset the computer, do some other job and when that is finished, I again have to reset the computer. At the end of the day (literally) I am constantly resetting the computer. Sometimes it boots, sometimes it boots not... Now it does not boot anymore at all. :-(

Suspect number 1 is memory. I'll try to sort it out one of these days.

Thought it well to let you all know. Goes to show that even an Amiga ain't immortal. :boohoo:

Regards,

Jettah

When you reset your A1200, do you see anything other than a black screen?    Can you hold down both mousebuttons during reset to launch the early startup menu?

Have not yet tried that. Was to upset to think clearly. Will do so this weekend. Will reply. Off now to a party.

Thanks,

Jettah

Thanks for the offer. But, eh, ehm, I, eh, turned on the A1200 this afternoon and printed out quite a large selection of documents from WordWorth and guess what: it's performing like ever before! No hick-ups, no stalling, no hanging. Responsive as ever. Must have had its anual bad day, me thinks.

As an afterthought: upon finishing the application, I clicked it away. It looks like Workbench is 'detached' or something. Moving a window over it erases all the icons, but does not restore them when that window is moved again. Something rather strange is at hand here...
