Help needed with A1200

[AmiBoy]

Hi Brunty,

I've got the exact same problem with my A1200, not a blip out of it unless the accelerator board is removed, your set-up is pretty much same as mine.

I am talking to someone who said they will take a look at the accelerator for me and diagnose the problem and attempt to fix it.

I know it doesn't help you right now, but once the guy has got my card and checked it over I will let you know my problem and hopefully it can give you a direction to look in in terms of getting your card repaired.

If you are in the UK I am willing to speak to the guy on your behalf to see if he can look at your card too, if you want?

Regards,
AmiBoy

Hi Brunty,

It was sitting in my spare bedroom (aka my computer / escape from reality room) for a good while before I used it and found this problem.

Last time I used it I don't recall any problems, switched it off, then left it for ages (maybe even about 6-9 months) before switch on and issues :-(.

I really miss playing games on my Amiga, even though I have my PC, PS3, PSP, PS Vita, PS2, PS1 and smart phone to play on, they (most of the time) don't give me the same feeling of fun/excitement/joy compared to when playing a good Amiga game at the moment.

I just missing playing or having the option to play games on my Amiga when I get bored of my more modern machines & games.

I end up watching Amiga longplay vids on youtube, but that only makes me feel worse.

Crossing finger in hope my card can be repaired (or i'll end up paying a ton of money to get another 060 from ebay).
