After putting it back together the mouse doesn’t seam to work properly. The buttons work but the movement doesn’t. I have look at the port board and I have check the connections, but haven’t found anything wrong. Is there some place I should look?


Check the ribbon cables that lead from the MB to the IO board. I had to replace mine, they seem to pass away over time. Just use standard 3,5" IDE cables and cut off the connector you don't need with a knife.

Ok the trick with the cables did help a bit, now the mouse can move up and down, still missing the sideways movements though. I have checked the cables a dissent times and I cant find any answer here.. Have any of you experienced anything like that?


I have... the mouse refused to go sideways. The joystick worked fine though. After changing the aforementioned cables everything was fine again. If you're really desperate you can always use left-amiga+arrow keys to move the cursor. This also works in the early startup-menu.
