My A1200 is Funky
« on: March 15, 2016, 08:59:20 PM »
Hi All, I am visiting you from Amiga Forever version of AmiKit.  Which is very cool.  But I am running it under Windows 7 running in virtual mode on an iMac so it's a little clunky.  I am trying to get my second A1200 up to speed for possible sale.  Both floppy drives read and write no problem running Workbench 3.1.  However if I connect my 3.9 configured CF card all I get is a red screen.  And if I connect my 1230 board with 32 megs of ram I get nothing, dead as a door nail.  Could some one direct me to where I might want to start trouble shooting these issues?
Much appreciated.
Brad Hansen

Thank guys, for the help. I used my brand new power supply.  So that's
a no go.  Just sent off my good A1200 board for re-capping.  So I guess that's
next up for this one.
Appreciate it.

Hey All, been a while cause my good A1200 if off in England getting re-capped. Didn't know it would take so long. So I am coming to you today from my second A1200. The one that would not load the Harddrive or the excellerator.  This is what I did yesterday. I removed the metal shield from the computer. That's it, then everything started working. Now I can see some folks are having real problems with their machines and I can only feel for them. I mean before when I Added the harddrive nothing would happen, I mean nothing. When Iadded the excellerator I would get a purple screen that's all. So what can I say, this is a magic fix, I don't think so. But I wish all users with issues the same simple fix.

Mike, Really... One interesting thing, I'm Running my Individual AGA MK2cr and no signs of screen tearing
at all. The reason I sent my "Good" A1200 to get re-capped.
Cheers
