Gary, ROM, CIAs
« on: October 02, 2005, 04:36:28 PM »
Should any of these chips get warmer after some power-on time:
Gary, ROM, CIAs?
What about other chips?
(in a dead A2000  :-( )

and is Gary identical in A500 and A2000?
Better sorry than worry.

I see, thanks Mugo. this A2000 has been 'dead' for a while now. I already asked here about ways to locate the problem. When I turn it on, the power LED doesn't light up and the screen stays black. I even replaced the sockets of both 68000 and ROM. desoldering 64 pin was tedious, but also without any results.. :-(  :-x
When it did work I remember disconnecting keyboard while the power was on, could that have damaged something? also, I inserted once ROM chip badly, some pins were not connected.

BTW, chip labeled 5721 is very cold, as well as Gary, should I try to replace it?

edit: I've just put Gary, CIAs, ROM and 68000 from broken A2000 into working A500, and A500 booted fine, so those are working.. argh.. :roll:
Better sorry than worry.
