A1200 troubleshooting
« on: April 01, 2016, 11:48:21 PM »
Hi Everyone

I have two faulty A1200 motherboards one is definitely a Parts board the other I would like to repair.

The board I am trying to repair just displays " random colors " red, green, white, amber, ect.. then reboots. I can confirm power supply, Roms, caps are all ok. The board was tested " bare " no floppy, no Hd ect..

I have the tools to repair this but not the knowledge. can anyone point me in the right direction to troubleshoot this board?
