What is the stupidest thing you ever did to your amiga?
« on: June 21, 2004, 09:05:53 PM »
The other day i was cleaning my appartment, and i moved a few things out onto the porch to free up some space in the living room. I set my amiga 1000 on the railing ( i live on the 2nd floor ) and the wind blew it over the edge, so it fell 2 stories and landed on concrete.

The case was definately destroyed, and there were several fractures on the motherboard, one of which pretty much went down the entire length of the pcb.

Over the course of a few days, i managed to repair all the traces on the pcb. Several ic sockets were destroyed, so i had to solder the dip chips right in, probably better that way anyway, wont be having any socket oxidation issues in the near future.

The amiga 1000 did manage to survive, but the floppy drive inside of it didnt, but i have a few spares, so no worries.
